Default 3rd brake light connector

I was installing my halo lights and third brake lights, and now my 3rd brake light does not work. I tried the old one and it is not working either, so I think the connector is bad. I bought some connectors on Amazon but it's just the connector, no wires out of it. Does anybody have a link for a replacement connector with wires, or can explain the conductive piece of the connector?

Thanks!

I probably have the exact same issue as you do right now, trying to install a Chinese made piece with pins that are significantly larger than OEM. Did the connector replacement end up fixing it for you?
