Headlamp short (Or Fun with Audi electricals!)

Howdy Audi Nuts!

I am having problems with my right headlamp on my 86 4kCSq.
The headlamp is dim and the highbeam indicator light is lit dimly when
this occurs. If I open the hood and shake the wires the lamp returns to
normal but this never lasts long. I changed the bulb and still have the
same problems. I can only assume the problem is the connector.
What is the best way to go about replaceing it? I have not yet had the
time to look closely at the wireing but when I pulled the connector if
it looked a little burnt.

On an aside.. This is my first Audi and I totally love this car despite
the fact that it is underpowered. I look foward to upgrading to a ur-q
or perhaps swapping the engine in my 4K which is in superb condition.

Thanks in advance!
