CHMSL and socket?

Are replacement CHMSLs and bulb sockets available anywhere?

I'm thinking I may have to restore mine with e.g. a headlight restoration kit because I can't find one anywhere, 55155614AE shows as NLA and there don't appear to be aftermarket replacements (but I'd love it if there were!)

even if I polish and clearcoat the lens I need a new socket because mine is broken, for now I have it held in place with blu-tack. The tabs are broken, that is why my CHMSL seemed so dim. Well I put a very expensive LED "bulb" in there so now if some dumb (redacted) rear ends me I can say I did everything I could.

I looked up part no 56008722 (what is on the tag) but apparently that is only the wiring and does not include the socket. Can't find a parts diagram online that even shows a part no. for the socket. Junkyard is not an option for me as I junked my last XJ (wish I had land so I didn't have to!) and 3 months later when I bought another one it was already razor blades :/ new U-joints, wheel bearings, Redline gear oil, Upcountry suspension all lost forever :(
 
The aftermarket one lawsoncl posted does have the replacement OEM part number. That's about as close as you'll get other than waiting on ebay, and salvage yard orders. You can try https://www.car-part.com/
