Default Turn signal connector

I recently started to do my own work on my car after some bad experiences with some shady shops. While I was driving I have been noticing my right hand turn signal blinking at a increased rate. I went to go take a look to see if it was the bulb or something but found that these two plugs (one for the turn signal and one for fog lights, were hanging on by barely a thread on one of the wires and the other was cut all together. I am looking for some where I can buy the new connectors so I may plug in my headlights. These are the ones from the car that connect to the headlight assembly, pics below.
Thanks in advance

What year Civic? Usually these cars will blink faster when there is a bulb out, or if the hazard (4 ways) switch is broken/not plugged in. You may have found the issue there with the disconnected wire. Do all of your turn signals work as they should, but just blink faster? Does the right or left blink faster, or are both sides the same?

It is a 2001 honda civic lx and the right (the ones with the broken and frayed wires) blinks faster (double the speed) the left one that works perfectly. I have also removed the right headlight assembly and hooked it up to the left side and it works perfectly so I know it is nothing on the headlight's just the wires/connecter

yep, the wires are the culprit. everything should work just fine once fixed. I would replace the bulbs though. I had a friend where her headlight wiring kept melting and the bulb ended up being the culprit although it showed no signs of issues
