High beam socket came off wires.

Ok I was just replacing my high beam bulbs but there was no slack at all with the wiring so getting the bulb out was more difficult than it should have been. Anyways by the time I got the bulb out the wires came loose off of the socket that the bulb goes into. Idk how to put the wires back into the socket and make them stay connected. Right now the socket is off and the wires are just hanging freely under the hood. Anyone help?

Have you tried removing the front bumper cover for better access to the headlamp ?
It may be easier to work on this way, if you have not already done so.
There are connector pins which the wiring is connected to within the socket. It may be easier to get another socket and splice the existing wires to the new one, IMO. That will give you some more slack in the wiring.

Can you take a picture for us to better see? Are there bare wires exposed, or did the pins pull out of the harness and still attached to the wires.

Also next time take the connector off the light BEFORE trying to remove the bulb.
