Default Help! Question about dangling foglights, broken connectors, how to repair?

A few days ago my girlfriend was driving her 2007 S60 and ran over a traffic cone she couldn't see until too late. The next day she came out to her car and found her foglight connectors dangling beneath the car:

These connectors are hanging down on both sides of the car. They appear to only be the power connection to the foglights, not the bulbs themselves.

I looked underneath and saw this:

Clearly the end of the connector that's dangling down should be connected into the back of the foglight housing like this:

It looks like the ends of the yellow connectors dangling down are somehow threaded and you twist them into the back of the foglight housing. Problem is, both ends of the connectors are partially cracked/broken:

One side's:

Other side's:

I tried to screw them back into the back of the foglight housing but they wouldn't stay in place, I assume because of the above cracks in the threaded connection area.

I don't know how running over a traffic cone would do this (and it's the only apparent problem/damage resulting from it). But in any case, can anyone help me with the fix for this? Ideally I would just replace the plastic connection ends of the wires hanging down below the car, the parts that are cracked above. Can those parts be obtained by themselves? Or do you have to buy a larger, more expensive part that contains that one?

Can anyone help out with this? How can I fix this for her? Where can I shop for these parts?

Here is the plug :

Lamp socket for Volvo (30795072)

You could order it from the link or give the part number to your local dealership and get it from them. Hopefully the fog lamp side isn't damaged and this is a quick fix.
