Default Need help with my fog lights

Ok yesterday I was driving and one of the fogs didn't turn on then the other one turned off also, I checked the fuse it was blown so I replaced it and still nothing, so when I went to check the bulbs the wiring was all riged it had the wires directly on the bulbs it had no connector connecting to the bulbs so do I have to get the whole fog light wiring harness or can I buy a universal connector from like auto zone or kragen?

Thanks for all the advice i went to Kragen and the had what i was looking for. They have the fog light connectors so if your looking for some they have them for $11.99 for the pair you just have to splice and but connect them together, there water proof connectors so thats a plus.

2001/2002 (maybe early '02s) had 9006 bulbs for the foglights. They Lexus switched them to H3's. I'm guessing your car originally had the H3's and the previous owner (for some reason) replaced them with the older foglights and so instead of doing it right, they just mickey mouse'd it.
