If you cannot find them at a local salvage yard, check at the local auto parts store in the section where they sell the headlights. I believe there is a common Ford one sold in the Motormite brand. Also, since it is a common part, look in any other Ford cars that use the single hi-lo 9004 bulbs in the headlamp housings.

The round things that the bulbs rotate into?

$5+ shipping sound good if you can't find them locally? Should be a few bucks to ship.

I found a stock pile of these in the local yard.  I can confirm that Rangers and F-150's use the same part.
