Question Tail light socket

I have a 95' Dyna FXDS-CONV. it has the stock tail light on it with the 1157 bulb and socket. I want to change it out to an aftermarket United Pacific LED tail light assembly. However when I ordered the aftermarket tail light assembly, I was unaware that it has the 3157 socket plug end on it. So now I am in a quandary. Does anyone know of a replacement 3157 socket that I can put in the stock housing? Or would it be better if I just got an aftermarket housing assembly from JP, DK etc. and put that on instead and sell the one I have? Here are a couple pictures so you can see what I am talking about. I would be grateful for all of your knowledge. Thank you very much.

Check your local auto parts stores for bulb sockets.

Are you saying the new tail light has a pigtail that emulates a 3157 bulb? If so, then yeah, get a 3157 socket and piggyback it onto your existing wiring. Or, cut the plug off and splice the wires into your harness.

I've got Brightass lights on two of my bikes and if I remember right, it was a plug and play evolution.
