    Hey guys,
    I bought my taco used, 2021 with only 34k on her and allot of upgrades. One is replaced OEM headlights and tai lights, and where my problem lays. The OEM plug for the light(female), to a pigtail, to tail light. The pig tail has a contact that is warped, almost twisted, in which any heat/cold or even frame twist will cause the pig tail to lose contact and cause the relay to blink faster as in a light was out. So, I have no idea who makes the tail lights and do not know of anywhere to get a new pig tail, so as to not have to rebuy a new set of tail lights because of a bad connector in the pig tail. And I am scared to monkey with it anymore due to it possibly snapping if I continue trying to get it resolved. I have fixed it and it last for a few days but then it just starts back because it’s lost contact again. So, with that said, does anyone know if there is a place to purchase the pigtail, or am I DOOOOMED?
