Holy wooballs was I lucky!! That would have been a very expensive mistake
I taped off the wires separately right away, but I am so glad I didn't try to do anything. Weird how losing that sensor cut out the high beams but I tested them before the install and they worked so occams razor says its the sensor.
I hope the connector is just pressure fit for the stripped wires so I don't have to take it apart. Thanks petrified.rabbit!
