New wiring harness?

Ok so me and a couple buddies were tollin around our cars just explorin under the engine bay and i noticed somethin a lil off about my headlights. The passenger side has one of the three connections broken. It split pretty much at the base of the connection so im wonderin maybe is it possible to solder it back or will i need a new wire completely? Thanks in advance guys! Its makin my right blinker go like crazy and the amber light in the housing does not light up

I myself would just solder it back in, and it sounds like it is the ground for the light since you have the Fast flash and no corner light.

Black wire with yellow tracer is a ground. Soldering into that connector is going to be a difficult one. Pull the connector and see if you can remove the pin. Usually there's a locking tab that you can slide a thin paper clip into, and the pin will come out. Then soldering will be much easier, then slide the pin back into the connector.

It looks solderable. If hard to do because of access, I'm sure you could find a crimp connector that would jam onto that pin stub pretty tightly, then new tape. Make sure to disconnect the battery (-) first...
