I'm not completely sure what you are asking. You need the socket itself or the dimensions of where the bulb sits? Also, is this a truck or suburban? Here are directions for replacement on the standard vehicles. If it is the Z71, it has a different design, so let me know if that is the case.

As far as the bulb, it takes a standard 880 bulb. I can tell you the overall length of the bulb is 1.25"
