Default headlight connector problem.

So, I'm pullin in last night in my coupe and I realize that my left front headlight is out. So I reahc in and when I got opull the connector off, the headlight comes on. So I pull in to the garage for soem light and the connector that connects to the light is completely fugged. It's like the plastic just corroded away. Most of the plastic on the connector is broken off. Which is weird because there are no signs of any type of corrosion anywhere else on the car. So my quetsion is, can I just by the connector and wires alone becausen it looks like the wires run all the way into the firewall so I think I'd have to cut and splice. Thanks.

Nope, stock bulbs. Ihave had the car ten years and only have replaced one bulb (which is the bulb in the light I'm talking about). Maybe it's the crappy aftermarket bulb then? I forget which brand it was from autozone. The bulb is fine and thatw as like 5 years ago. So can I buy just the connector from the dealer.

You might be able to find the plug from a local auto parts store for cheaper.
