Default Fog light plugs or replace harness

So I replaced my front bumper and re-installed the factory fog lights in my 09 . I guess that when I put the bulb back into the lens it was not seated correctly and melted the rear of the light so it doesnt stay put and allows water in everytime I go wheeling. My buddy gave me two fogs from his 11. Replaced the light but the bulbs have changed so the plug wont fit. The easy fix is splicing in a new plug but I cant seem to find a replacement. Went to dealer and can purchace a new harness and replace both fogs , but not sure if the harness will plug right in . I would like to use the 11 fogs as I like the way the plug attaches to the bulb compared to my present set up. Does anyone know where I can purchase just the plugs ??

In all honesty, you'll be better off finding a set of '07-'09 foglights on ebay or craig's list. The newer bulb is not as widely available and 50 bucks a pop. If you want a set of yellow tinted ones, I have a pair that I never got around to putting into my old rig (killed by Sandy).

You can cut the plug off the old lamps and the new lamps. Then solder and shrink wrap the old plugs to the new lamps. I am trying to say just change the plugs on the lights.

Good Luck
