Headlight Sockets
Who sells the headlight socket shown in the picture below. Note that the Headlight bulb socket has a black finish. Also note that the contacts for the bulb are flat and brass without and solder "bumps".

Re: Headlight Sockets
The black finish would have to be conductive - it's in the bulb grounding path. I can't guess its purpose. Maybe a dark metal plate?
The flat contacts mean crimped connection instead of solder. A soldered connection can be repaired more easily. |

Re: Headlight Sockets
Black finish on steel is likely a phosphate treatment. It would still be conductive but more resistant to corrosion than some treatments. Zinc or cadmium plate are generally more common but also more expensive.
