Any auto parts store will have the connectors for just a couple of dollars. For that matter, they're so common that I think I probably have a couple in my toolbox.

You could always try bending the metal tabs to increase tension on the spades of the bulb.

What car is this?

Sounds like a T/A to me. LOL!! Mine did that too. I just slid them out of the plastic, pinched them close a bit more, slid them back into the plastic harness. I also bent the two posts in the back of the headlight inward slightly which created more tension as well. Seems to hold fine now. Good luck and don't bend too much....doesn't take much.
