Why don't you just go to realoem.com? Find the part# and order from the dealer, worst case. This is for a 2004+ 3.0i:

let me guess you keep getting bulb out warnings and the new bulbs will not ignite properly right? If thats the case you don't need a new socket, All you need to do is take some sand paper and lightly sand off the metal prongs on the socket. Basically all the metal parts. Then remove your tailight assembly and sand down the metal parts that contact the socket. This is a known defect on our cars. Then blow all the debris off and hook everything back up like normal, bulb should fire right up, and be fine..If none of this is the case, and you just need a new socket then disregard everything i just said!!
