Cooked Headlight Wiring Harness. Replacement??

Hey Guys,

I had the connector inside the headlamp that connects to the light bulb fry on me this week. Pretty much melted right off.

Anyways, went to the dealer and apparently I have to buy the whole assembly.
$300! I think not.

There has to be a harness that I can buy. Does anyone know where to get one?

Thanks for your help!

If its just the plug you can get one from Napa as a lot of vehicles use the H4 style plus. Maybe 15 bucks. Or just crimp 3 female spade connectors on there.

Had the same problem on my 09 flstc. Went to Autozone, paid $7.95 + tax for a 2 pack of heavy duty H4 ends. They come with around 6" pigtails to solder to your existing wires

This is pretty obvious advice that I personally would have overlooked until the "next" time. Pepboys has a h4 connector in the help me section for $7 and it as a 2" pigtail. Maybe the pigtail is longer but I looks small in the package.
