See a couple paragraphs down in this post for how to get what you need from a company called Wiring Works.

thanks for the link.

I called wiring works this morning and they don't sell just the front wiring harness.
I have no choice to buy the full harness at 425CAD if I want to replace just the headlight wiring.

I'm sure you could sell the remainder, so you'd at least minimize your costs.

just saw that WW is selling a wiring harness that seems to be less expensive than wiring work.
Don t know if it is equivalent quality or not.

If it's only a headlight harness it is pretty simple to make. You could do it for around $100 including the tool. You only need White, Yellow and Brown 12ga. wire and a few connectors for it. You can also scrap wire from other cars if you have any in yards near you.

thanks, I was finally able to find my issues, I had a bad ground issue on the left front headlight so I decided to redo connexions with new wiring and with correct color. Otherwise my wiring harness is still in good shape and was never really messed up.

I will post picture during the weekend.
