Next time you're at a junkyard pull one. All you need is a little, flat blade screwdriver to depress the tang in the metal wire connector that is inserted in the plastic connector.

On your way home stop by NAPA and purchase a handfull of part number 725147. This is the female, metal connector that is crimped on to the wire then slid into the back of the plastic connector.

Buy extra 725147s and keep them on hand. They fit in most connectors in your truck and are handy to have around if you find an issue that needs to be addressed in your wiring.

I would just buy the pigtail or get it at a junkyard. Headlights have a wider spade so a type 56 or normal female spade connector does not fit.
