    I somehow cracked the harness plug to my fog light. It is broken about halfway down and will no longer stay connected to the bulb.

    Due to my work hours and it being dark out I have not gotten to look at the connection in more detail.

    I know I need the connextor that connects to the bulb. I was looking on line last night and it appears as though part that I need to replace is actually a pigtail, per say, that connects into the actual wire harness.

    Can anyone confirm this for me? If so do you know what the part number is? I called Toyota and she said they only sell the plastic end clip and it is $30 bucks.

    Either way I need to fix it, but if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

    Sorry- too late and dark for any Picts.

    Check auto parts stores. I think that connection is pretty common. Cut and splice in a new one. It's just 2 wires

    That is what I am going to do if it is not a pig tail. Thank you

    @TRD Fisher they're just two wire clips, I added some lights to my truck and wanted to use the same waterproof clips so I cut them off an old hid kit. Attached those

    Are these what you need

    Make sure youre getting one for your bulb type.

    Probably an H11. it should be printed on the bulb

    Correct it is an H11.

    It is the female end that connects to the bulb. The one above is the male end that connects to the harness itself.

    So just a note to self... when removing the bumper disconnect the fogs first..
