So I just purchased a set of euro smileys to upgrade from my sealed beams. They didn't come with the pigtails and I don't want to buy oem for $5 a connector and $8 a wire. PM me if you have a set you could sell me. Thanks.

Basically when you get Smilies they just bolt up without an issue EXCEPT for wiring. From sealed beams: The sealed beams have a 3 prong connector 2 of the wires are ground and one is power. While the euro connector is 1 power and 1 ground, all you need to do is take the extra
This article has the part numbers for the connectors and wires you have to piece together.

So i found a cheaper solution than buying the part numbers i saw recommended. The wire that fits into the connector has a part number of 61-13-0-007-446 and dimensions 1.0-2.5 MM². So I searched the dimensions and found this bmw part 61130007450. It has the same dimensions (1.0-2.5 MM²) as the wire normally used it is just missing the rubber boot. This costs $3 a wire instead of $7. So i got the connectors for $1.50 and the wires on the bmw mini parts store. In theory the end should plug in normally but will not fit the connector (61131378403) properly so i will take the wires and wrap the open ends in electrical tape and then put them into the connectors and hopefully they will fit like the ones with the rubber boot.
