Specialty socket passing lights

Hello guys, I'm in need of a socket with an opening, in order to move my passing light forward before I can fit my fairing. I believe it's a 9/16", any idea where would be the best place to get one?
Thanks.

Take a 9/16 deep socket and cut a channel it with a dremel tool. That's what many do.

Yep, way cheaper than the "real" one from snap-on. Works fine for me.

I did this exact thing two days ago. Went to harbor freight bought a cheap 9/16 deep well socket, cut a slot in one side, works perfect. Just remember to reposition the slot after a 1/4 turn or so, that way you don't start stretching the wires.

If you don't feel like making one, the part number for the Snap-On socket is: FRX181
I personally purchased the Snap-on socket years ago.
