headlight connector plug

i installed strobes on my truck last weekend and in the process of installing them i stupidly broke the clip on the headlight wire connector that attaches to the headlight bulb housing. i went up to ford to see how much this simple plastic wire connector would cost and they wanted $85 dollars for a repair part that probably costs $2 to make max (wtf?) does anyone know a website that may carry OEM wire connectors like that? i tried local autoparts stores and they are either dumb founded or dont carry these specialty pieces.

you can get replacement ones from most Auto parts stores for under $10. They are in the general fix-it isle where you get your replacement bulbs and toggle switches


I broke the clip thingy on my drivers side 4-5 months back...doing just fine, and we just got done with a monsoon rainy season out here.

I wouldn't worry about it honestly
