It's also the fact that John (or less likely the service dept.) had to buy the special crimping pliers from AMP or whoever to perform a factory authorized repair, move the car into and out of the bay, etc.
Plumbers and doctors will charge a base 'minimum' fee to see you as well, just to break even to cover all the operating costs, same sort of thing applies.
For your original question, those little 4-prong terminals burn up all the time, I buy the wiring pigtails from my local dismantler every chance I get to keep in the tool box rather than putting on a new connector, then you just use splices to hook up the used connector.
SAAB produces a wiring pigtail repair kit for the H7 headlamps, those connectors do the same thing, but no repair kit for the tail lamps yet that makes the process easier.
