Default Fog light pin broken

Hello,

Mine is a 2005 GX470. The passenger side fog light is not functional. Replacing the bulb did not work and I noticed the pin on the housing that touches the base/bottom of the bulb is broken. I may not describe this accurately but it's definitely not the wire that is connecting to the power source.

Any idea how I can replace/fix it without having to replace the entire housing?

Default all is good

Hey everyone,

Didn't hear back I guess it's only me with the issue. Anyway, I figured I post the solution for reference. I removed the fog light housing and remove the rust and broken pin. Using a paper clip, I shape it like the original one, put it back and it's good to go. I feel much more confident on the road now (lol).

Good to know for reference. Did you happen to get a pic of the area so we know what you're referring to ?
