need relays...help

alright, I have an 86 firebird, and the headlights are not coming up.

Both of the relays on either side are completely burnt out. Melted.
And the connectors going into the relays are also melted. I checked the wiring and it looks like the previous owner had to repair some wires, so I am just going to rebuild this.

I know where I can get the relays, but does anyone know where I can get the connectors that plug into the relays?
I will not be able to re-use mine at all.....

The relays seem hard to get, but not impossible.
But I cant find connectors for it anywhere.

How hard is it to upgrade to the 87+ system?
I just need the a motor for each side, and the control module right?

yeah it looks like the previous owner had some wiring issues, so I think I want to re-run new wiring.....but the relays and connectors are gone. If I get the 87+ motors and the control module, I can run new wires to them, and the wire them in with the current headlight switch right?
