BULB SOCKET,TAIL LAMP
The bulb socket that holds the tail lamp bulb and carries power to it.
57-5209 is the bulb socket for the tail lamp, the small fitting inside the lamp housing that the bulb actually seats into and that carries current to it. It shows up across a run of catalog listings tied to the tail lamp and stop lamp switch, and to the wiring harness and switch setup that feeds the tail and stop lamp, so it's a standard fixture back where the rear lighting lives.

If your tail lamp is flickering, dead, or intermittent and the bulb itself tests fine, the socket is one of the first suspects — corrosion or a loose contact inside it will cause exactly that kind of grief. It's a cheap part to have on hand relative to tearing into the whole lamp assembly.
Our records show this one appearing in catalog entries spanning 1960 through 1969, listed alongside the tail lamp, stop lamp switch, and instrument/wiring figures. It's also cataloged under the plain number 575209, same part.
