I'll try to pay closer attention to the original post date, in the future. Hope to find a headlight connector yet!
There are two connectors on the headlight one on the outside and one inside.
This is the one on the outside. CLICK
An auto supply shop should have the inside one with a pigtail it is for an H7 bulb.
Thank you. I may end up having to get an aftermarket connector from an Auto Supply Shop. But I would prefer to find an original H7 headlight connector housing, if possible, and swap the pins out of mine, as it is damaged.
Thank you, I will keep that solution in mind. It appears we have found someone with a salvaged connector. So, now I will swap the pins out, if possible. If that fails I will try a Napa type H7 connector.
I watched a you tube video that said to grab the connector with pliers and pull it off when changing the headlamp. The end result for me was a cracked connector. Won't do that again!

If you just grab a single edge it works, do not grab too hard though and pull straight out.
Thank you. I will be more careful next time. These connectors are made from brittle plastic. I have another burnt out headlight to replace now. So I'll see if I can do it this time without cracking the connector.
UPDATE:
I made a Bulb Removal Tool from some hose pliers and 1/4 inch plastic tubing. It works well to remove the headlight connectors without putting too much pressure on them and cracking them.
These are the pliers. They are a Harbor Freight Pittsburgh® - item#37909.
This shows the 1/4 in aquarium tubing.
It is fairly soft, and doesn't cause as much damage to the connector as bare metal.
