Question 2001 Boxster headlight wiring harness

Wiring harness inside my 2001 Boxster head lights is falling apart, contacting other wires.
lights stopped working.
I took the head light assembly out and tried to replace wires as much as I can but there are few more wires which are not reachable to replace.

Anyone have any ideas ?
Did anyone replace complete wiring harness ?
Anyone have wiring diagram ?

Been there done that! I had great luck with liquid electrical tape for the wires I could not replace.

I replaced the wiring harness in both mine. Ordered some of the pins/connectors from Mouser. It's not too hard with the lens cover removed, which I did because I was upgrading the lights to projectors. There is also a company who sells the wiring harness online if you do a google search. It wasn't available at the time I did mine or I probably would have opted for the easy way out and just bought it.

I bought new h7 sockets and the crimp connectors from mouser and made my own. I used some liquid tape on the front wires that I could get to. Depends on how handy you want to be. I repaired copiers for 40 years so I had the skillset, and am a tightwad so I made my own.
