Ugh! Busted Wires at Lamp Connector 900 1994

Life with a 20 year old car that's parked outside in Chicago can be tough.

This winter, one at a time, the lenses on my front turn signals finally gave way (under pressure from numerous freeze/thaw/snow/ice cycles). So, I bought two shiny new repro bulb housings/lenses.

Driver's side one went in without trouble. The attachment tabs on the pass side were a little tougher to get to "click" all the way, so I had to pull out and reinsert the fixture a few times to get it right. I should have remember to disconnect the bulb holder each time I wiggled the fixture out--but didn't. So, I was surprise that (even though I was being gentle), the bulb holder snapped right off all three of the wires feeding the connector. As seen in the pic, these wires look sort of old/brittle to begin with.

What can I do to get the wires reconnected? They snapped right at the crimp end of each of the female plugs (there are three of them) that fit into the female connector body. I am no good at wiring/soldering. Do I need to replace the wiring all the way to its source?

Thanks for your advice.
