Default This sucks!

One of the terminals for my LED tail lights were corroded upon removal and one of the metal terminals broke off. I dont want to pay another 3 bills or so for a replacement, so does or can anyone make a replacement terminal that goes into the socket of the stock harness? Im sure im not the only one that has or will have this problem in the future...

You might have to make something. I think the part you are looking for looks like what is on the stock bulb. Is there a pigtail comming out of your tail lights?

Thanks buddy but I need the male end of the connector. That site has female ends. The male end protrudes from the LED assymbly itself... Anyone?

Yes it looks like what the stock light bulb. There is a pigtail coming from my LED plug... Anyone have a wiring diagram that can show me how to splice this into the stock plug?
