Default 1969 taillight sockets

Is there such a thing as the factory original sockets for a 1969 Firebird?

I have replaced the sockets in the past with ones that are available for GM cars at Autozone or Pep Boys because mine were getting rusty from cracked taillight lenses.

I have since rebuilt the tail lights with new lenses but still trying to use those generic sockets.

They seem to work as you can get them into the hole with some effort and tab bending, but will fall out over a speed bump or placing items in the trunk and bumping the sockets.

If I was able to buy a new rear harness, what is a good vendor that you all would buy the harness from, and would it have the proper sockets with it?

I have an AAW kit that is 3 years old. The rear sockets on my car the metal insert keeps getting pushed away and loosing contact. I finally took them out and bent the h*ll out of the metal insert and forced it back in and haven't had any problems since
