1970 Dart front side marker light pigtail?

The '70-'71 Darts use a BA9s (SC mini bayonet) base bulbs, originally type 1895, for the side markers. The socket + wire pigtail are integral to the housing.

The rear side markers have separable sockets, but not the fronts—this was done because the back of the front marker light is in a splash zone, while the back of the rear marker light is kept dry inside the trunk. The permanently-integral sockets up front meant no water would get in.

If your front housing has an empty hole in it, either it's a rear housing or a hacked front one. You could try using the rear-type socket/boot 2983 545, tho it looks like it's for a bigger-than-5/8" hole.

This is a BA9s socket designed to snap into a 5/8" hole.

While you're at it, move the (front only) side marker lights' ground wires as described here to add side turn signal repeater function to them.

I'm sure my front marker light was jacked up because a previous owner or mechanic tried to pull the harness out of the housing.

Thanks for posting that set of instructions on getting the marker lights to blink! I'll definitely be doing that up front, and probably use the relay method in the back.
