Default Headlights what a pain. Help Please - Day Driver

Hello,

Can't afford new headlight motors right now for my 94 coupe and I have one headlight motorthat is going out. It is supposed to be possible to unplug just the motor for the headlights so when you turn them on they din't engage the motor. I can't seem to be able to find the motor only connector just a connector that handles all of the headlights electrical neess , large gray connector. I want to rotate the headlights to the open position and use the clip to keep them in place to keep them up but I need to disconnect the motors first. Anyone know where I can find the connector that only disconnects the headlight motor or how you do this?

I am doing the exact same thing on my '91, in the left front engine compartment there are 2 vertically mounted relays which unplug, one for each headlight. They're on the panel next to the engine not the wheel.
