If the socket is the same diameter as the base of the usual 1156/1157
lamp, you can probably get the piece you need at the FLAPS.  They sell
a replacement contact assembly, which is a little circle of plastic with
either one or two contacts in it, a spring under it, and about 6" of
wire; it costs about US$1.  You probably want the single-contact version.
The wires won't have connectors on them; you have to splice them in or
add your own connectors.  Go to http://www.dormanproducts.com/ and put
85800 in the "part number" search to see a picture.
