Default Headlight Plug Source?

I have a 99 coupe that I just acquired and am working on a few issues. The car currently has aftermarket stationary headlights installed and I want to put it back to stock. I have the headlights but the wiring was hacked upon removal and I am looking for some components to put it back together. The first and most obvious need are the plugs that go to the headlight bulb sockets. The wires on the actuator motor were clipped and I would guess the plugs were trashed.

Anyone have a source that doesn't require me buying the entire headlight motor and is reasonably priced?

Didn't see any there. I will keep checking back though. Was hoping for just the plugs and not the whole assembly.

Thanks for the tip!

Call them. They are a Corvette salvage dealer and may have exactly what you need.

I am an idiot and was searching the wrong way. I was looking for C5 specific stuff and not thinking of the broader picture. As soon as I started searching for plugs that fit a 9005 or 9006 bulb my prospects became much brighter. Duh!

Thanks for the help guys!
