Melted headlight plug on W124
When I went to change out my headlamp bulbs (one was going out occasionally; decided to change both for consistency), I found one of the connectors in pretty rough shape, melted and corroded. I didn't have any problems with the light before, but when I tried to put it back on, I get very little or no light output. On searching I see that melted sockets aren't that uncommon on the w124, so I just figured it is time to solder a new one in. Anyone happen to know a part number for that harness? I scoured the EPC but can't seem to find it. I noticed AutoZone carries plugs that would fit, but I'm concerned about quality ... thoughts? Of course I can always try to find a good used one ... I can't believe there aren't any in my three big boxes of random w124 connectors!
The plug in question is pictured below.
