Default Headlight bucket switch

The small round connector on the green wire to the headlight motor switch broke off. I suspect bubba pulled the switch sometime ago and just jammed everything back in place and bent the connector...it finally separated. Switch and motors work fine when I touch the green wire to the proper pin on the switch. Any suggestions on fabricating a connection from the green wire to the pin? Thankful it's not the switch...$$$$.

If it is the switch on the harness that plugs into the headlight rollover motor you can get replacement plugs from Eagle Wire Products in Tennessee.

Thanks for the response but it's the little round connector from the green wire to the pin on the headlight motor switch.

They also have the connector that plugs onto the back of the rollover switch at the dash. It has pigtails about six inches long on it.
