[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1218111, member: 3187"] Looks like the feed to the headlight dip relay. You'll never repair the connector without replacing the inserts, I doubt you could easily get them. In any case the copper of the wire will be burnt and probably wouldn't re-crimp satisfactorily. I'd put the connector back together, strip insulation from the wire either side, solder a wire from one to the other, tape it up. If it needs undoing again, cut and re-solder. I'd avoid crimp-on splicers, particularly with the relatively high current of the headlights. There will be those who say solder will go crystalline with the vibration. Not my experience. [/QUOTE]
