Some bad wiring caused the wire to melt by this connector (wiring problem is fixed now) but I’m not sure what the name of this kind of terminal is and I can’t seem to find an exact socket replacement for this. I looked for a previous thread but didn’t find one unless I missed it.
Thank you!
 
I guess your are looking for something like these sockets that I found on eBay.

I would also be curious to know about a source for the bare connector without the leads crimped in, but these may be good enough for your purposes.

Yeah especially cause the socket and (I can’t remember the wiring off the top of my head but I think the spring is the negative) the negative is in good condition it is just that terminal that fell apart plus I worry about re-wiring things again with quicksplice since I’m kind of limited in space with soldering inside the headlamp area.
 
The leads correspond to the two filaments positive sides. The metal housing of the socket and bulb are the ground side. The spring should only be there for the mechanical purpose of holding the bulb in place.

And keeping tension on the bulb's positive contact point.

Huh one of the previous owners must have messed with it cause the spring was soldered to the ground wire. I guess I’ll get new sockets and hope they work if that terminal shown isn’t something you can buy
