Sidelight connectors

[swirly182]

Think mine need replacing. Managed to blow brand new Bosch sidelights within a month... Where can they be bought from? And are they easy to fit? - didnt see any screws to remove the wires.

Cheers

I know this is the most boring thread ever made (even I forgot about it until now) but surely someone knows!

Scrappy? And my guess is that the loom has the split pins that goes into the connector, may be worth cutting them off and attaching new ones soldering and heat shrinking.
But i'm confident that it's not the connector blocks, unless they look battered.
You're best to check the earth first. If you have a multimeter check for resitance from the connector to the bateries earth. Should be virtually 0.

They do look a bit battered tbh. Cheers, i'll check the earth.

Oh, and could have been dodgy bulbs mate. Try another pair before cutting away your loom

My sidelights on the old car seemed to go every few weeks, stopped replacing them then, they're not needed really.
