2012 R56S Reverse/Fog Pigtail?

Is there a source for a NEW pigtail, or just the NEW connector, for the reverse/fog lights in the bumper?? The sockets are not corroded inside, but the pins on the outside kind of are, so I'd be replacing those too. But the wiring harness side also looks a bit rough, and the driver's side takes some jiggling to make it work sometimes.

OR...

Has anyone de-pinned the connector, cleaned it up, and put it back together?

My bad, post updated. NEW pigtail or connector. Used one will probably have the same problems sooner or later.

Thanks!! Wrong socket for my car, mine's a 3 wire, but those wires might work... won't cost much to find out! I'll get under there with DMM, power probe, test light, and voodoo chicken bones this weekend and see what's up.
