Euro elipsoid connectors

brodee · 10-18-2004, 05:28 PM

Where can I find the connectors for the euro elipsoids? I bought some and I'm missing the high beam connector on the passenger side.

Also I thought these were a plug and play swap for us elipsoids. Was I confused on this? Mine have a different connector than the euros.

The US ellips use completely different connectors than the european ones. I'd talk to Greg and see if he can get you a used one for that passenger high beam.

Thanks Ken. Not sure why I was thinking they were the same thing. Is it pretty straight forward as to which wire splices to which?

If I remember correctly, I think the color should match up.

European ellipsoid wiring connector from the wiring harness?

Build your own from new parts from the dealer:
The pins (need two per lense) 61-13-0-007-445
Housing the pins clip into 61-13-1-378-417

That info thanks to http://e30m3therealm3.com/

If you want low beam connectors too check with Mike, he stocks the hardware kits for installing the sets he sells.

Thanks Ryan, I may just run up to the dealer tomorrow and try to grab the parts.
