Corroded pins/connectors in light harness

I am trying to replace some extremely corroded connectors in a harness for a DRL light strip. (this one: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25959)

I bought the kit second hand, but stupid me, didn't ask for more pictures of the connectors and didn't think road salts would be so devastating on supposedly weather sealed connectors. I learned my lesson, I just want to fix it up so I could use this.

The female terminals:






The male terminals:







Does anybody know what these things are called and where I can buy them? I'll probably need 4, to repin/terminate all the connectors. Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

*EDIT* After some more digging based off of @jonzhuxD's suggestion, I have found the actual datasheet for the connectors and housing. Check it out:

Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of the REALLY corroded connector. The rounded tip on the worst one has broken off and it no longer makes a connection to the female portion, so I need a new one.

They're Denso connectors. Here's a link to some, might be able to find them cheaper, I just grabbed the first link on eBay.

CocaCola will remove the corrosion, you can use a variety of protection products, I use the battery stuff myself.(its red.. idk what its really called)
you can clean corrosion like that with coke about 3 times before the terminal will become useless in my experience.
