Default Fog light wires ripped out of connector

Hi there,

I recently ripped the passenger side bumper off my 2008 IS250. In fixing it, I see that the wires have been ripped out of the fog light connector.

The wires are just dangling there. I am wondering how to fix this. The connector looks fine. Can I just solder the wires back into the metal posts in the connector?

Also, does anyone know which wire is positive and which one is negative? I have green wire and a white wire with a black stripe.

The other option would be to have the wiring harness replaced but it seems like I must be able to fix this.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Have a voltmeter? Use it to check positive and negative. Or check the driver side wiring.

You should be able to de-pin the connector and solder them back.

You could just match the harness wiring on the opposite side fog light lamp, but honestly I believe whichever way you decide to rewire it it'll still power the bulb.

You can try AutoZone, and any other Auto Parts store. They should have a 9006 pigtails, or H11 depending on what year you have for the fogs.
