Read this thread from a day or so ago. Lots of discussion about the headlight sockets and any vendors who has any in stock.

Are referring to the socket to fit bulbs with offset pins?
The normal setup was weither a BA15S (single contact) or BA15D for (Double Contact). Sockets for bulbs with offset pins are BAY15S or BAY15D.
Since BAY15 style bulbs are normally brighter & perhaps the source of the question. But I am unaware of Model T sockets with off set pins. Most users simple break off the high pin without issue. Other use LED bulbs. Trying to fit a BAY15 socket will require a tab to allow for adjusting the bulb to meet the focal point of the reflector

A couple of weeks ago double pin light sockets were out of stock at Langs, Snyders, MACs, and Smith & Jones. Chaffin's had them but they confirmed that they are struggling to order more. You may want to pick them up from Chaffin's while you can. Chaffins: (951) 226-7331

Availability across vendors may have changed since then.
