Default HeaD Lamp Help

The problem that I'm having is that my driver side connector that plugs into the Head lamp motor is burned out. I called Pontiac dealers and they gave me two options, 1. replace the COMPLETE wiring harness $765.76, 2. or replace the Module harness. 72.50???

I thought that they would have connectors that I can just splice in.


Does anyone know what I can do..

Well I forgot to mention that when I replaced the headlamp motor I saw that the connector had developed serious corrosion. So one pin was eaten out...

I just had the dealer replace mine on the driver's side... $529 for diagnostics, parts and labor.
