The pink and black wires to into the black plastic housing...at the base, they leave the plastic housing through a small opening out the side, where a coupling interface attaches to the wiring of the car to supply power.

Thanks. But I should have been more specific. I need to know what the end of the wires actually look like in addition to this 'coupling interface' as the wires on my fogs were cut and stripped of insulation (not by me). The 'coupling interface' is absent and would like to know what it looks like so I know exactly what I need to replace. Thanks again.

It does! Thank you! Are the wires/connection at the bottom of the housing and housing itself one piece or do they come apart?

Pretty much one piece, although the two wires are coupled together with a grey connector at the bottom. Did someone try and rig up a HID system and strip the wires?

So the grey connector does not separate from the black housing?

The grey connector may come out, but my fingers are too chubby to push the tabs in.
