Unfortunately with those globes you have to buy them complete with the socket as they're moulded together during manufacture.

Don't quote me on this but i think you can only get them from ford and they're like 4.50 each again don't quote me as i could be wrong here my cousin has a vt calais and when we replaced the globes in his climate control we had to get them from holden as they're the same deal.

Also you can try and convert to led's you can get em cheap on ebay. Use the led sticky in this forum has alot of good info on led's for dash globes.
