replacing oem ballast connector

So a few years ago, the headlight connector was pretty much destroyed. Connector was replaced with some cheap quick connects and have been like that for years and have started to crack now. Now I want to go ahead and put the oem connector back onto the wires. Question is, anyone know what parts are needed to reconnect the oem wires to a new connector? Old connector and internals are most likely in the landfill in my area.

it would be cheaper to buy a whole hid replacement kit--or at least the ballast and ignitor wire--ck www.hidextra.com
they
are azine member with low prices
www.hidconcepts.com is another ziner

you can even buy just 1 ballast and ignitor (the lead wire from ballast to bulb connection)
probably for less than the cost of 2 OE connectors and whatever else you need to go back OE

many of us are getting ballast wearout from age or moisture issues
OE is way pricey for what you get

if the connectors you used were cracked now- the wires are probably shot inside as well

Thanks for the fast reply. It's not the internal connectors. Headlight is still working fine. It's the connector that goes from the harness to the headlight.
