Default Help! Rotted headlight wiring harness
I'm sorry if this is posted somewhere already. I search and couldn't find answers. The headlight and lighting wiring harness under the airbox on my 96 xj has rotted out. Both male and female connectors and the wires that go into them are shot. I've only read that it is a common problem. What have you done to fix this? Thanks in advance!

I would go get a new harness from the junk yard and start cutting and splicing

Anyone ever just go to radioshack or some connector shop and buy a new similar connector and just solder that in?
