Default 06 IS250 Foglight harness/connector problem!

I bought new lights for my IS250 in August. The left fog light burned out in September so I replaced the bulb. When I was replacing it I noticed that the harness/connector was sort of broken, so i just put the new bulb in to test it out. The bulb worked but then another month later, which is today, the same fog light died! Does anyone know where i can buy a replacement harness/connector? Links would be helpful and est. prices at dealership would help because I live an hour away from one. Thank you!

I believe they are slightly over the stock wattage. But yeah ... It melted the plastic clip just a little bit

Im assuming the "82998-24150 - Terminal, Repair (Terminals with 160mm length of wire, 2 per connector)" is the same as this?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...MARFYA2WQAQ0MQ

So then what... cut off my OEM harness and attach this one? ... not really sure how to safely connect it... Solder then heat shrink tube over it??

Yes you'd splice it in, and crimp/solder and heatshrink it.

From Lexus, the connector and wires are separate. If your wiring/terminals are still okay, all you need to replace is the plastic connector housing.

For example, connector:

I was going to post about this.. I think I may have damaged my connector as well. when I insert my bulbs all the way in(to when you hear/feel a click), they will not work, but if i pull them out slightly, they will work. has anyone experienced this? this is happening for both nokya and PIAA bulbs. i have not tried them on the OEM ones, although I will as soon as this weather clears up.

Ordered the new connector today.... it ended up costing around $12

Here is what my current connector looks like ...



Funny thing - after unplugging and plugging the bulb back in - my fog light works again. So it looks like I'll only need the new connector.

Is there an easy way to pull the pins out without damaging them? Tried tugging on them after taking off the clip that holds the connector together (You can see it swung out to the left) but they feel secured inside....
