Default License plate light burned out

So the light on the passenger side rear license plate burned out. Go a new holder from Pelican but when I went to replace it the whole thing was shorted out! Burnt and black. No one has the part that plugs into the holder. Looking for a wrecked car that might be able to cut this part off and sell/donate to

me?

Check with DC Auto.
http://www.dcautocatalog.com/

Even though they are in Eastern North Carolina, they shipped my used center radiator, mounts, and snorkel just days after the hurricane went through NC.
The parts look like they are in perfect shape.
I just received them.
I bet if you contact them they can get that connector for you.

Weird, I’ve texted and emailed with them on a few occasions with prompt responses being the norm. Bought a very reasonably priced radiator fan from them a couple weeks ago and was shipped quickly and worked a treat.

Keep an eye out on eBay. When I parted my donor vehicle, I sold just the light harness the way it is wired you would need to splice it in. At the time, there were a bunch for sale. Now it does not look like any are listed. I am sure one will pop up.

Going through a box of parts I bought from a parted out Boxster and I ran across this...



Is this it?
If so, send me your address.

I was shocked when I saw it.
I was fairly certain it was the one you were looking for.
I found another connector and looked at your picture so it was fresh in my mind.
Then was rummaging through the rest of my stuff, and voilà!
