    Euro ellipsoid city light bulb socket

    I'm in the process of rebuilding my Hella Euro smiley headlights.

    The city light bulb sockets are both corroded and somewhat brittle so I am looking to replace them.

    Does 63121385603 seem like the right part number? I can't figure out if this comes with the wiring as well or how it works.

    From the diagram, it looks like that PN includes the socket, wiring & connector body that clips into the headlight bracket. That makes sense, since the bulb socket is more or less molded over the wire harness.

      That is the correct part number, I need to order them, too. Mine are also very brittle and breaking apart.

        Sweet, thanks fellas! I just dropped $100 on new adjusters and clips for these things and after all that I don't want my city lights not to work. Going to order the new bulb holders, they're pretty cheap!

          Where'd you get the new adjusters and clips from?
          (and how bad were your old stuff because I need something for my driver side hi beam)
          Das ist nicht nur nicht richtig, es ist nicht einmal falsch!
