Color and gauge info,
The socket housing is plastic, not ceramic, so I can’t agree with their “High Temp” label. Back of the package says “high temperature nylon” and gives a rating of 482F / 250C. I like the rubber boot which will shield the rear of the housing. It will not provide water tight protection for the lugs on the lamp because it is not wide enough to completely cover the lug base.
As for pinouts…looking into the socket from the lamp side with the center connection at the top, you get BLUE on top, BLACK to the right and RED to the left. I’ll post a pic of the harness side. This works for many people but it did not match my vehicle colors (green v blue) or where my original red was. This is not a show-stopper, just need to recreate the connections according by position. However, since I’ve got 12 ga stock in my preferred colors in a known insulation temperature grade, you know exactly what I’m gonna do. Yes, you can get the terminals out.

|Works like a charm on a ’99 Subaru Impreza,
Purchase these Dorman sockets and swapped out the old ones. Work just fine. I noted the the wiring colors on these sockets are different from the wiring colors my vehicle. I used a VOM to make sure that the wiring is connected correctly.
I highly recommend this product. BTW, one pack comes with 2 sockets.
