you can replace the internal terminals of the connectors, they are metripack 280 series connectors, a good automotive electrical supply store will have them, but you need special crimpers to use them.

Lol had the same exact problem last month. My drivers side headlight wire harness had water in the plug. I cleaned it and had to move it around a bit to stop it, ill have to change it. But for now it stopped

More problems I had the same problems with the headlights being dim and I pulled the wiring harness on the passenger side and plugged it back up and my lights started working fine but know the headlamp door on the passenger side won't close and it was fine before, any help?

Solved Solved! The headlight motor wiring harness includes the wires that go to the headlights. There are five wires, ground is the black one on the end. When I used a multimeter on the headlight connection, I was getting 12v, but when plug the light and it does not come on. My ground was not connecting properly enough, so when there was a demand on the positive the negative wasn't strong enough to handle the return. I disconnected the 5 way headlight actuator motor wire harness and the side that goes to the car wiring is basically the female side of the connection. I used a small pic, like a screwdriver but sharp bent point on the end, to pic behind the female connection. In essence, prying it outward. Connected the harness, and boom, got my low beams back. Tested high beams and they work as they should.
