    Hi all,

    My 2008 Limited has the driver side male/wiring harness side connector for the license plate light bulb cut off. The wires are still there (a ground and a power) and the female/bulb side connector is still there, but I can't just shove the raw wire into that. Anyone have a good idea to get these connected? I'd prefer to keep the stock connector, but I can't find one anywhere (none of the junkyards around me have tundras or sequoias in them, and dealers don't seem to have the part nor do online parts stores like rockauto.com). In lieu of this, anyone have a clever way to connect the wire to the connector?

    The part I am talking about is shown below (got from a google search). It's the wiring harness side connector.

    Did the wire broke off the metal pin?
    Or the clips that hold the plugs together broke? Is not clear to this old man

    A little of this and a little of that.
    x2 on @Roman. He'll for sure get you hooked up with something. If he can't get it, they don't make it.
