Wiring Trouble Front side marker light
First I need to replace the wire that goes from behind the headlight over to the driver front side marker light. For the life of me I can not get the wire to disconnect behind the headlight. The socket had gotten water in it and corroded the contacts, and when I went to replace just the side marker assembly the disconnect clip broke from being all brittle. So now I have to try and replace the bulb housing, and the wire that runs to it. Any suggestions are appreciated.

The bulb housings are incredibly cheap (eBay, $15 for both) and the wiring should be an easy find if you know anybody who has gone to flat flares- usually they eliminate those lights instead of adapting them. As far as replacing that housing, your best bet for avoiding breaking other pieces is to take out a few of the blind rivets along the edge of the fender flare and then work with it. It's really easiest completely off of the vehicle but some folks break more clips that way. If you take the fender flare off then you'll also have a better angle to get at the harness that's on the body that you need to replace. It should clip in to the frame there with Christmas tree clips.
