My driver's side headlight arrived yesterday. Unfortunately, the wiring inside is a mess. You can see all of the electrical tape wrapped around the wiring. There is a lot of missing insulation and broken wires. I negotiated a price reduction with the salvage yard that sold it to me.



Fortunately, the wiring in my broken driver's side litronic is in good shape:



I'm planning to transplant my good wiring from the broken headlight into the unbroken headlight with the bad wiring. It all looks pretty straightforward except for the wiring for the foglight and the turn signal. The turn signal looks particularly difficult since the wire runs the length of the headlight assembly and it will be difficult to get in there.

Does anybody have a suggestion for doing this? For example, could I gain access by removing the clear plastic cover? Or should I cut a small hole in the bucket near the connector for the turn signal.
