Default V70 Headlight harness

I have a headlight harness that needs replacing on my wifes V70. When I go to the FLAPS all they have is a 2 wire harness. When I look online that is all I locate. I need a three wire harness. Here is what I have. You can see that it is melted.

Where do I get one?

That's looks pretty buggered. If all you can find online is 2 wires. I would be tracing wires myself to see where it goes. It could be a earth line, or a duel power line. Does yours have driving lights? (Spot lights/lights on bottom of bumper?). I always find, if I think I have an odd variant, I email the car company. With my vin and ask them what the standard equipment and optional extras the car came with. Help to also rule out, of know if someone else has had their hands on the electrics before you bought it.

To me, I would get a standard plug, and bridge that wire, as if you take it apart you will find that its bridged on the connector pin anyway. So bridging it, a bit up from the plug on the same wire wont hurt.

Thanks dool. What I did is buy a genric plug for the H11 bulb and splice the 3rd wire directly into the main wire on that side of the plug. Soldered them up and all is good. The extra wire supply power to the little bulb below the headlight. Not sure what it is called, DRL?, since the headlights are always on. Back up and lighting.

Thanks,
