Side light help

Hi

 

Where can i get the following connectors?

I need to replace them as the metal prongs have snapped due to age when checking bulbs.

 

Can i get the whole plug to just solder back in or even just the metal centres.

 

They are the side light plugs on the same light as the front fog.

A lot of us will have complete fog light units with perfectly good T10 bulb holders in them, I for instance have about 4, you will just need to solder the blue and black wires onto yours.

 

Sidelights are not that pleasing to the eye in the centre ish of the bumper, why not ditch this location and locate sidelights in the indicator lense unit where a spot is already there for this purpose?

Look at my sig below, just use your fogs for exactly that :cool3:

The write up doesn't mention or use a bulb holder, so just a quick look on ebay something like this is what's required, drill out say a 14mm hole and then dremel out the notches so this bulb holder will twist and lock in securely in your indicator unit :cool3:

And for a bulb I currently have these fitted, buy a few extra then you have spares

I will try to get one of them bulb holders and re solder onto existing wires.

 

Cheers

Paul, I rang a few breakers.. in the end Jeff had some spare bulbs and sold them for a few pound each...

I think they are normally chucked away...

This is the unit talked about above that as you can see as the area that needs dremelling out so you can put in a T10 bulb holder. Yours as far as I can see cannot be done :sad:

These next two pics are my old ones and as you can see have two perfect full size bulb holders, I was going to keep but as you've given me some rep :cool3: I will sell them but will be £25.00 delivered as they are perfect, will include the sidelight bulb holders you can see plus short loom and plug, also a fancy smd white bulb will be left in each, these are the ones in my sig pic.

 

FYI, it is possible to open these up and remove the orange reflector although it never bothered me, you would then fit an amber bulb as opposed to a clear one for your winker.
