HID 600K Fog Light Kit wiring issue - need help

Hey guys,

I have a small wiring issue with my passenger side aftermarket HID 600K fog lights. One of the connections at the end of a wire going back to the OEM harness connector broke off and I am looking at buying an entire fog light kit from HID Extra again. They won't sell me the wiring harness or a connector and I think its ridiculous to have to buy BOTH sides again when I have purchased all my HID lighting from them and TWO sets of fog light kits already (when I switched to a M3 rep bumper).

The bulb number is an H11 and it is spec'd for the E9x fog light housing.

Can I go to Radio Shack and find a suitable slotted connector that I can splice onto my existing wire?

Any advice would be a big help right now as I am not able to pass state inspection because of this fog light not working.

Thanks

I also have a lot of extra connectors if you need one. H8 and H11 are nearly identical

You really just need h8 to 9006 adapters, google that phrase and you'll find a plug and play harness for under $10.. Just about all aftermarket HID ballasts take the 9006 plug so it's just a matter of converting whatever is on the vehicle end to 9006.
