Does anybody no where I can locate 2 rear side marker sockets for my 68 300. Ive been checking the usual places with no luck.
Side marker sockets.

The sockets should be the same for any 1968 Mopar. Try eBay. Maybe these:

Do far Ebay hasnt been any help. These are for the round '300' quarter panel marker lights. I think it takes an 1895 bulb.

Is the one you have an OEM socket? I don't recall seeing sockets like that on external lighting.

Im not sure if its been changed before, there is no splice coming out of wrapped harness that feeds tail lights. These are the 2 red/white/blue round marker lights at end of quarter need bumper.

As a general suspicion, aren't all 1968 Chrysler Corp car side marker lights round with a chrome bezel? Except the square ones on the Imperial front bumpers? Which might mean the bulbs and sockets are universal for Chrysler products for that model year?
Just thinking . . .

Mine only has the small square amber lights in side of front bumper and 2 small round red in rear quarters, Im not sure what are interchangable.

'68 Chrysler & Imperial side markers were square.
In looking in Section 8 of the 1968 parts manual, seems that all of the front side maker lamps have a sort of metal housing the bulbs click into and the external pieces screw into a metal bracket of sorts. With a connector similar to what is pictured, for the rear side marker lamps, but the illustration title says "Except Chrysler and Imperial", as it looks like a normal rear side marker lamp. Basically, not what I was expecting to find.

I was thinking "interchangeable" to mean "all Chrysler Corp cars", in general. First time I had looked about these things, specifically.

Not sure what light you are referring to as I can not find a picture of a red/white/blue lamp on a 1868 300

Do you have the sockets or are they missing? You can repair them. Rhode Island Wiring Service Inc. has the button, spring and insulator. Look under "supplies" then "contacts, buttons, springs".

Best I can measure across prong to prong is 1/2".
Measure the hole in the light housing.
