Default Headlight Wiring Harness Question

I searched before posting but found nothing related to this subject.

I recently purchased an '03 EX-L 3.0L V6 that was hit causing damage to the rt front fender, bumper cover and headlight. The headlight was destroyed and in the process, broke the wires going to it.
Is it possible to buy just the necessary connectors and attach them to the existing wires or do I need to buy a complete harness and if so, where will I find one?

Thanks!

Do you have pic's of the wires? You might be able to repair them (splice with good protection).

Or a visit to a local bone yard and "snip"/un-clip what you need and go from there?

I agree with poorman here, if you have or can get the connectors that you need a simple but solid splicing should be all you need to do. Kind of a different situation but in a way similar when i installed projectors on my accord i rewired the harness to fit my need as in the connectors i needed and also the wiring setup to match what lights came on in what lighting position etc.
