Hello! I bought aftermarket tail lights for my car, one of the reverse socket housings completely changed, they sent me the plastic socket that fits it and I soldered it on. We don't know what the socket is called though. It looks like a T20 Wedge socket, but I don't know the specific type. The type of bulb that fits in it is a W21W 42mm Tall (Top to Bottom) Glass Halogen bulb. I am trying to get LED replacements to complete the look of the car, but every LED bulb I order from Amazon that matches W21W doesn't fit.
For Amazon W21W bulbs, there appears to be a triangle notch that locks into place, my socket doesn't appear to have that though. It just has 4 metal rails, two for power, two for ground, the middle 2 metal hook-shaped rails seem to lock in the Glass Halogen bulb's middle pill shaped notch into place.
This makes me think it's an old version of W21W, or something completely different.
Here are some screenshots of the socket and socket housing:

Yeah, I figured, people usually run when I mention that haha, but does that socket look completely custom? I've tried searching W21W sockets and couldn't find one exactly similar to the one I got.
Either way I'll keep an eye out, hopefully someone may know.

I just searched what you did. It would help if you said the application or vehicle but shouldn't for a "reverse" light?
Here's what I found >
> What’s a T20 bulb?
A T20 bulb is commonly known by industry standards as the following bulb sizes: 7440 7441 7443 7444 992A, etc. These T20 bulbs are commonly used for the turn signals, tail/stop lights, reverse lights, and daytime running lights.; T20 bulb stands for 20mm width on the top of the bulb. Back to Top |
It was just some interest and boredom now months ago I plain wanted LED + brighter for one of my own. Others less heat as regular bulbs were wrecking the lenses.
This company thru eBay was the most help as you can plain ask what works and what wont to the seller!

Hope those work. Buy where you wish I have no interest in that part just this company knew what fit what or mess up,
