Default parking light socket on my ap1

i picked up my ap1 s2k about 2 weeks ago, knowing that the driver side parking light (small 168 bulb right below the signal bulb) was burnt out.
Whatever, no big deal ill just switch up to a new bulb when im taking the bumper off to 'mulderize' my headlight diffusers..

heres the problem.. the light wont come on even with my new bulb, im guessing the socket is fried... any online places where i can find a socket?
i just hope its not my whole entire harness that is fried, a bit choked (will burrow my neighbors voltmeter to try if the whole thing is fried or not, hope it isnt)

im still quite new to honda and dont really have a clue where to get discounted parts etc. so help would be very nice,

thanks everyone

This would be a good idea, as it could be a loose ground connection.

Make sure the metal tabs are making a good contact with the wires on the bulb. Is the bulb tight sliding in or a little loose? Some bulb sockets have a little grease in them which "could" cause the connection to be less than perfect.
