Hi Mike, Thanks for the Link. No those are not like mine. The TS28915 is the new version which uses the connector type bulb not the simple contact type.
Mine should be the most common type as I recall which were used on most Jeep, Gm cars in the 80s-90s. Almost any ones that were for the 1157 two filament bulb with a plastic housing would work. I am pretty sure the local Auto Zone/Advance should have them. It's too bad I still have a bunch of Made in USA bulbs but I sold the sockets years ago when I sold my shops.

Moisheh......I am assuming that my 09 Dynasty has the same head and tail lights as your 08. How do I go about identifying my mfg. for lights....want to log this away for future, just in case. This forum is awesome.

moisheh · 04-28-2011, 07:54 PM

Mike I think they are the same. You should have 4 tail lights. 2 on each side. On the lens you should see: TYC 11-5007 on one and TYC11-5008 on the other. I didnt price the lenses but the whole thing is so cheap who cares!!

Moisheh...Thanks, I will check the numbers this weekend. How about front headlights... I believe you said in private msg that they are 05 F250's......is that correct?

moisheh · 04-28-2011, 10:03 PM

Yes they are Ford F250 2005. Sometime last year a poster in one of the Yahoo forums provided a link to the Moanco parts web site . This is a private web site. I was reading it for a few days and then thought maybe I should download the parts manual for my coach. I did and then printed it. I dont know how complete this is but it shows a lot of items. I lost the downloaded file but have the hard copy. There are pictures as well as Monaco #'s and vendor #'s. On the page for headlights it shows that Ford information. That web site is now blocked!!

Well I ordered the Tail lights, didn’t get a shipping conformation!! Called up Autopartsdealer.com, they said I would have to buy 30 of each. They didnt call and let me know this!!! Cancelled the order. Trying Amazon.com shows they have the red brake lamps, amber would ship in about 2 weeks, still no luck with sockets, may have to fabricate something!!!

Mike Canter · 05-03-2011, 09:00 PM

That is what Hella did, they changed the part number so you can't buy them in ones or twos. Only 30 at a time. No problem for some places that seel a lot of lights.

I contacted Hella and they will not sell the sockets by themselves and they are unique to these tail lights. Hella is right here just outside of Atlanta.

We need to talk to someone that’s works there and find out who their supplier is!! Then we can buy these parts at a price thats reasonable!!!

Mike Canter · 05-04-2011, 06:35 AM

I took a real close look at the new units and closer look at the sockets but there is nothing on them such as where made or a part number. It would seem to me to be a bad business practice to have a unique socket for a single mode tail light. It would more profitable to have one socket that can be used in lots of different model lights. Hella is a world wide company based out of Germany and is probably the largest automotive light company in the world. I doubt that they subcontract anything out and they do it all themselves. I do not see "Made in China" anywhere on those new lights and that is probaly why they cost so much.

Mike Canter · 05-04-2011, 08:35 AM

Richard, that RockAuto is a great company and I use them all the time because you can chose the quality of the replacement part. I will endorse them.

They were the first place I went to check on a replacement socket but nothing even close. The universals would take a lot of modifying and not sure it will last or be worth it.

saduncan1 · 05-05-2011, 07:26 PM

Well I fouund the replacement sockets!!! Got the new tail lights today, Did a search, made in Spain!!! Ryder Fleet products, part #Hella Replacement Socket for Lamp 121060025, Ryder part #HEL 121060025 $3.75 ea. Well I guess this will help others. Im going to order a few sockets!!!! The high cost of education!!! If you need some tail lights I got some for sale!!!

Mike Canter · 05-05-2011, 07:41 PM

Hey, Sherlock Holmes, great job. I had looked in my Ryder catalog and just checked again and they are not listed. Maybe need a new catalog. Did you find a part number for the single contact bulb socket also?

Again, a great job.

saduncan1 · 05-05-2011, 08:00 PM

I didnt even think about that I think I can wire them up to work with a double. What do you think. Better than $400 for the lights!!
Im going to have a glass of wine and a pity party, I could have a tank of fuel for my trip next week!!!
