Default HELP! 2011 HID OEM Headlight Swap

Hi everyone, need some help.

So I am switching from my stock halogen to oem HID headlights. This is not a "how do you wire this" question, this is a "someone cut a connector off a harness and I cant source it."

There is a 4 pin male connector that is on the back of the headlights. The guy who had the headlight before cut it off - why? I dont know. Anyways here's the connector # from the truck harness to the back of the headlight - WPT-925. As seen on page 22 of

http://www.motorcraft.com/servlet/Bl...lob&blobkey=id

I need the male version of this. The "4235" in the below pic.

Heres some pics.

This is what I need

Any pushes in the right direction would be great. Im hoping someone has a wrecked light that theyre willing to send the connector from it. Also if anyone has 4 screws to hold the ballast on I will buy them off of you.

Thanks!

I already have the kit that connects right up. Except the headlight doesn't have the connector for the kit to attach to. The morinoto kit has the female end - I need the male end.

I gotcha. I was just curious to see what you already had. That sucks. I'm guessing he probably used the connector for a new set of headlights he put in. Your best bet would be to go to the retrofit source and order one of there connectors. should be a 9006 if i'm not mistaken. they have a whole list of them for like $5.

Already have the harness. The harness has a female end that plugs into a male end which is cut off in the headlight.

9006 looks like a 2 pin connector. Im in need of a 4 pin.

I contacted retrofit source, they don't sell that part I guess.

Thanks for the help so far guys. Keep it coming!

That harness in your hand looks like the inside cable that goes between the bulb and ballast.

You're right, except it also goes to the back of the headlight which then would connect to the morimoto harness. The morimoto harness has the female end - I need the male end(picture 1). Picture 1 is of the other headlamp. The passenger side is missing the male connector.
