Default Lighting Issues/ Parts Availability: 1989 760 turbo

I've recently acquired a 1989 760 Turbo w/ 180k miles on it as a 3rd car. It seems like a very well made car.:) Excellent garage-kept, well-maintained car, but has had some issues. The first, most troublesome, was the intermittent stalling that was ultimately solved by replacing the main fuel pump & FP relay. Most recently, lighting problems front & rear. All T/S problems traced to poor electrical contacts.

Now, since I've lost THREE front corner/ turn signal lamp assemblies (they just fall out while driving):eek:, my question is: where can I find the bulb sockets and intermediate connector to the wiring harness??? Then, is there a better way to secure the housings, rather than what appears to be a simple friction-fit? Should I have used RTV in the tab mounts, or is there a proper way to secure them that I am missing? The new housings seemed secure, yet fell out!

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Since posting the above, I've found the socket/connector at FPC.:) Now, what's the best way to secure new housings? Actually, all my front lights seem loose (fogs & headlights, too). What's needed seems to be the grey plastic mounting frames into which the lamps are inserted, since they are apparently worn or broken. Are these pieces available? If so, where can they be purchased?

I'm getting a bit frustrated with not being able to find parts. Not many vendors or salvage yard have parts for older Volvos:mad:.
