Front turn signal bulb wiring issues - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have a 2010 2SS with the RS package halo head lamps. The front turn signals started having issues, and I eventually figured that it was either old wiring or really kinked wiring. The wire “looms” that the signal bulb wires separate from, seem to be fine though, as are the rest of the lights all around my car.

When I go over bumps and whatnot, the wiring will move a bit and sometimes disconnect the power going to the turn signal light bulb, causing it to trigger a “check (whichever side) front signal light” and a hyper flash for the remaining rear signal light that’s still working.

I got it to hold by messing with the wiring right behind the bulb connector socket, but it either has to be kinked in a weird angle or manner; and it will also still tend to move from time to time and occasionally go out or trigger bulb error messages/hyper flash.

I figured I can maybe just cut the wiring and bulb connectors and get used or salvaged ones. They do sell just the connector online, although I’m not familiar with electrical components, so I don’t really know what all to get… I figured that even if most of the old wiring was ditched, most of the original wiring was okay, up to basically the two wires, right where it enters the bulb socket.
