You can buy new pig tails for the lights at a car parts place or a junk yard. I recommend a car parts place as you have to clean and tighten the socket where it attaches to the light bulb to reduce heat. I am certain you dont know how to do that.

The sockets must be ultra clean and it's best to coat the electrodes with silicone electrical grease before installing them. Always use a napkin between your hands and bulbs to keep them absolutely free of oil from your hands. Oil and or grease on the glass part of the bulb will explode it in seconds.
