Unhappy HELP! Got a small problem...literally!

So I made a little boo boo while removing my old angel eyes to make room for my new set coming in...I know I can't be the first to do this, but I broke one of the little tabs that holds the bulb connector to the bulb and locks it in place. I'm usually really careful but when I went to remove the socket from the bulb by pulling on the two tabs on the side, one broke! So I am curious if it was something that was easily replaced?

If anyone can please let me know if its possible to change out the plug without removing wires and what the part number would be? I would really really appreciate it! I searched and searched but got no where, so I am going to you my fellow 3'ers. Help a brotha out!

Thanks in advance!!

Well there are 2 tabs that hold it into place. as long as there is 1 tab still there you shouldn't have a problem with it falling out.

If your still concerned about it, you could always pick up a few wire ties / zip ties and use those to make sure it doesn't fall out.

Mark, I figured it wouldn't be a big deal but me being a little OCD like that, it erks me a little lol. Even thought of using electrical tape in case i break the other one . Not gonna lie, it could happen! HAHA Speaking of which, the new set I made room for were the lux h8's . They should arrive today, had them shipped express and they went out yesterday. Can't wait!

Mark, you wouldn't happen to know the part number for the plug housing would you? Doesn't look that bad to change out if I needed to.

Thanks bro!
