Front indicator wire plug

Fitted new lenses from europarts which look great however the drivers side bulb plug wire has snapped right in the plug and cant be joined, damn it... any ideas on how to repair it?

This is the plug on pass side drivers is same except mirrored

Above your thumb in the photo is a lug. If you take a small (jeweller's) screwdriver you might be able to prise open the plug unit and remove the wire and its socket to effect a repair. If it comes apart then, using a soldering iron you could solder bullet connectors to extension wires and put them into the connector.

I might still have a plug that you can have; I'll check tomorrow and get back to you.

These are the sort of connector that can be used to effect a repair. I had to do the same thing for the plug on my ambient temperature sensor.
