Exclamation Dome light help?

I have a 1990 f150 and the dome light connectors the back plastic connectors that are for the dome light are broken. The plastic is all cracked and coming apart. I have been to the junkyard but all of them are the same as mine. Does anyone know where I can get them or if anyone has any that I could buy?

I think they go to the dome light and cargo light. They have two wires that are the same color but two I dont know where they go. But the pics you sent me where not the same dome light that I have here is a link to the type I have. 75-85-86-87-89-90-91-92-93-94-95 FORD F150 DOME LIGHT INTERIOR MAP LIGHT CHROME | eBay


But the dome light used to work until these plastic connectors broke. There are two screws that go into these two wires that are mounted on the cab. It also seems to affect the 3rd brake light. I have looked and looked but cant find them anywhere new or used. Do you want me to send you pics so you know what I am talking about?\
