A little help on an HID harness?

Hello all. I purchased a headlight set from a member here. Unfortunately, it was packed in newspaper and one of the boxes was shredded pretty well, leaving me no recourse to file a claim with UPS. Good luck there anyhow. Well here is my problem. The only damage I could find was a broken adjuster. Can those be repaired by ht the way? I got it all wired up, and made it to the passenger side, I seem to be missing the male part to this (see pic) on my harness. Am I missing something? Maybe fell out of the gaping hole in the box? If so any idea how I could source what I need? Thank you, I know its a long shot but any help is appreciated.

More investigation on my own subject. I see some kits come with just the one blue plug, see below. I still have the female blue plug on my pass side headlight, and high beam wont work without it. I tried plugging it into the drivers side and works fine. So what to do with that plug? Still wondering if something is missing

Put pic up of everything you got and we can see what you have and don't have and ya the blue plug is female and usally plugs into 1 side of headlight where light bulb would plug in normally but some kits come with wiring harness that plugs into each side

The plug you have is first picture is a male plug and looks like the one for headlight light wiring that cones on headlamp assembly

After countless times putting it in, taking it out, checking grounds, checking voltages and switching balusters it works. Dont ask me how. Now I need that headlight adjuster. Its hole is larger then factory cobalt, and it has 3 blades that engage in the housing holes instead of the factory smaller 4. Any clue where to source adjusters?

I think your plugging in to the wrong one.
One the old school harness came with driver and passenger plugs. The new one only have one and you just tape off the other side.
Your hi beams won't work unless you you a)get a bi-xenon kit or b) re-wire the harness. (I did this once and trust me its not worth the stress)

Harness kits are only low beams but you have to plug them into the whole headlight harness, thus you loose the use of hi-beams.
Sometime you have to sacrifice comfort for the greater good, like how much better HID`s look over halogens.

One more thing I forgot. Are you doing this with the stock headlamps.
Please don`t be that guy.
It`s against the law to run HID`s in non-projector housings because you blind everyone else on the road.
