Default New problem - electrical

So I promised you all I would clean my throttle body on my 92 coupe when I returned to Miami. Done. However in the process I might have broken my headlights. Driver side (LH) air filter box had to come off, and it seems I disturbed the wiring to one of the relays along the fender. I was able to wiggle one of the wires and the headlights would shine intermittently. So I was inspecting the wiring to the relay (NOT the headlamp control module), and found one to be broken. So I'm removing them from the connector and of course that disintegrated being old brittle plastic, and one of them shorted out. I do not see a spent fuse in the headlamp fuse box, and the wire connectors are no longer able to clip on to the relay terminals, so I'm a little screwed. I sure hope I did not ruin my headlamp module as sucker was nearly $100 used.

I need to get some new wire terminals and see if I can connect them to the relay (also hopefully not toasted). Are there other fuses I need to check when shorting the brown wire to ground?
