Default Electrical Wiring Harness

I've got the coupe all set for Shenandoah next week except for a faulty headlight. I'm uncomfortable driving through WV at 6 in the morning with out my passenger side low beam. I've traced it down to a wiring harness that crosses from the fuse box to the passenger side connector up near the headlight, but can't find a replacement.

Seeing how this car is a bit of a Frankenstein, I'm not even sure what year the front end really is. It looks sorta like this Relay Socket Harness on both ends, but with more pins. Any ideas on where one could be found? It's just one pin that is broken when tested with my multi-meter, so I may end up running a new wire and splicing it in at the ends temporarily.

I guess if all else fails I'll just strap a maglight to my hood.

From your discription before you have LH chassis with SH bumpers. Just wire a splice in the wire harness or get a different kind of plug and get thee to the track. Plugs are problematic anyway. Don't over think this. Be careful and you can return to "stock" later.
