Thanks
Yes you can buy the socket,but the problem with that is you can't see if it fits in the fog light.
The first pic shows the back of both sockets (JDM on left,Nissan brake light on right)

The next pic shows the top of the socket were it mounts(note the triangular shape of the JDM vs Nissan tabs)

The last pic shows the 7440 bulb that comes with the JDM light it has just the brake light filament not the tail light,the 7443 bulb has both tail light & brake light,in the pic with 3 wires on the socket 1 is the hot lead to brake light 1 is the hot lead to the tail light,and the black to ground.
When you get the 7443 bulb & socket you will need to test which wire goes to what light,just plug the bulb in the socket touch the black wire to - of the battery then take each wire ONE at a time and touch the + then try the other which ever lights up brighter is the brake light.


Hope this sheds some "light" on this for you
