Default Found another electrical problem!

Hey guys I found another electrical problem today when trying to fix my HID problem... While checking all the connections and grounds I came across a problem. Theres a plug that has 2 metal prongs in it that snaps into another plug that connects to the headlight. It is also the same plug that has your turn signal and running light on it. The cord is about 10 to 12 inches long. While checking it I seen some corrosion and a broken metal clip on the inside, leaving me with just 1 metal clip. Unfortunately this harness is unrelated to the HID so I still have that problem, but instead now I have a completely different 2nd problem. Now i know why at least my running light/turn signal wasnt working. Hey at least I still got my HiBeams . But I was curious does anyone know where the hell I can get one of these cables. Its a black cable that snaps around your headlight housing with a gray end that clips into another gray end that slides on to the headlight, and has 2 other ends. 1 that has the running light and the other the turn signal. I cant find it anywhere and I need it. Thanks

Actually heres a better picture of the broken harness. Inside that gray end one of the metal clips broke off, most likely from corrosion. Poof

local junkyard would be your best bet. otherwise you'll have to settle for it at the dealership.
