One little blade connector....

My Kawasaki Concours headlight has been giving me fits.  Earlier this week it flat out stopped working, and has intermittent getting home last night.  Not the safest operation, but due to the trailer I own with some friends being on another task this week I had to get it home somehow.

Well, today on the ride in to work it wouldn't come back on.  When I got stopped, one connector was way loose.  I shut the bike down, took the gloves off and tried to adjust it.  "tink tink tink thud" but very faint.  Looking down into the headlight housing/main fairing area I notice a bare wire sticking up.  I kneel next to the bike and there on the ground is an old, beat-up blade connector that wasn't there earlier.  GREAT.

Going to scavenge a pair of needle nose pliers from the restaurant row/Starbucks here if I can and at least try to get it back on.  If not, will have to go to plan B.
