Headlight switch connector

I have looked all over and cannot find a headlight switch connector for an 82. Anyone have an idea of where to find one?

Are you talking of the big plug on the harness that pushes on to the switch?
If so I have never seen one you can use as a repair like you do of the head light bulb plugs.


If yours melted also check the wires as they maybe melted also.
So if both are melted then find the plug & wires from a junk yard and splice it into yours.

Yeah That's what I'm talking about.

Mine isn't melted, it's gone. Haha.

I found a connector for 1987-1990 so I might just buy that and get the headlight switch from that year to go with it.

Some quick looking around yielded: Ford Headlight Switch Repair Connector 8 Wire Pigtail - The Repair Connector Store

They have another one they claim is for an 86-94, and this is the one that I believe mine looks like, IIRC: Ford Headlight Switch Repair Connector 86 thru 97 - The Repair Connector Store

Wow thanks. The top one is what will fit my 82. The bottom one is what I found elsewhere but will not fit my switch.

Well since y'all were so helpful on the first problem, how about another:

I can't find the bezel/screw for this switch. I got a generic **** but cannot find a screw to mount it.
