Default 2005 Chevy cab light

I have a 2005 chevy crew cab 2500 with the stock cab lights and all I want to do is convert the bulbs to LED but I cannot get the led bulbs to works in the middle light due to the old one being soldered into the sockets. Does anyone have an idea of how to get new sockets or even wire the leds into the sockets

Only thing I can recommend is pull the socket out of the entire socket. I don't understand why the bulb would soldered in the socket?

From the factory the 194 bulbs were soldered into the 1/4 turn sockets. The stock lights only have one pig tail plug in to power the 3 lights in the fixture. And on the 1/4 turn socket itself says to replace the entire bulb and socket, but I cannot find a replacement socket anywhere

After removing the bulb and socket, is it possible to de-solder the bulb and solder in the LED?

I'll have to look. Again. I didn't want to leave the light off the cab since we have snow and freezing rain in the forcast
