Parking light help

2004 Z4 the right parking light is out. Removed “tube” socket, replaced bulb, still doesn’t work. Can anyone tell me the part number of the socket/tube? The bulb tests good.

I had a front parking light that kept setting off the bulb warning light in spite of me putting in a new bulb AND tube. Ended up massaging the contacts inside the light housing to clean them and encourage better contact. It was all very fiddly.

Along with what wdb said you can try turning on the parking lights then get the screw driver down the tube and wiggle it a bit both ways, the contacts for those bulbs aren't all that well designed.
