Default sidemarkers and sockets stolen!

I recently had my clear JDM sidemarkers and the bulb sockets stolen. (Don't park in the Wild West outdoor lot on Las Vegas Blvd!)

They basically pulled the entire assembly out and just cut through the wiring.

So my question is....what is the easiest way to fix this? I assume I should look for a replacement socket and splice it onto what's left of my wires???

What type of socket should I be looking for? I know the bulbs are 194s, and I believe the socket is wedge type. I'm not sure what other specs I need to look for when shopping for a replacement socket.

It's always so stupid when people steal stuff like this. It's like the antenna. Why not just buy it? It's so cheap.

Damn shame they cut the wiring harness instead of unplugging the sockets. You'll have to buy a 2P connector from your dealer as well as the bulb socket.

Yeah, when I first saw the sidemarkers missing, I was pissed but not completely distraught, cuz I figured they just dislodged the markers and unplugged from the socket. I didn't actally get in there to find the severed wires for a couple days.....boy, when I saw that, I was fit to be tied.

My list of annoyances in two years with this car:

3 punctured tires
2 antennas gone ( I stopped repacing cuz the average life of the first two was about 3 weeks)
3 shopping cart dents
4 windshield chips (to be expected....30 miles/day on I-10)

You still need the socket and plug from your dealer. We supply the socket housing, lens and bulb.
