Default help with TA headlight connector harness?

does anyone know where to find these? My passanger side light is stuck up and when i checked the harness/connector under the light I found it was burnt and the prong from the female end had broken into the male end so now I need both ends. Can I just go by any connector harness and just cut the old off and mate the new ones together(as long as its a 5 wire setup?)

Its for a 98TA if that matters

You can do whatever you want....hell you can even cut the connector out of the circuit and splice in wires and eliminate the connector all together. I wouldnt recommend it...I would want some sort of connector there though. The GM connectors are quite pricey though.....

does anyone happen to know the part numbers and prices of those ends?

I just wanted to see if you could buy a plain connector and just splice that in since im sure GM wants gold for the factory ones LOL
