    Anyone know where to order L shaped wire?

    I know the dealer sells them at ~$10 each. Considering each plug takes 2 of these, and there are 6 plugs total the cost is ridiculous. These shouldn't be more then a couple bucks each.

    Anyone know where to order the green wires other then the dealer? The white, yellow and gray housings are damn cheap from the dealer fortunately.

    I can't really remember, but I believe the windshield washer bottle sensor uses these plugs as well.
    So if you're deleting it, there ya go.

    You break this piece open and it's inside:

        That's the euro part number or something idk.
        I went through the same crap trying to wire my Euros and ended up using other pieces of e30 plugs that are designed the same, but used for other things that fit.
        From parted cars of course.

        Like the wiring set pictured there for Euro lights is $70 new and I wasn't really up for that :/

          Yes, they are expensive because they are water tight. Don't know any way around it besides getting used ones. You can get them from euro cars or if you are savy you can get them from the junkyard off various BMWs.

            ^^yeah.


            For example, this is a OBC Temperature Sensor. The one located in your brake duct.
            The plug is exactly the same as Euro Lights for the low-beams. (Which is what I'm using from parted cars).
