irrotational Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I'm not sure of the technical term but inside the headlight bowl there is a three pin plug (the pins are thin and rectangular) which slots into the back of the bulb assembly. I have some new headlights (different make - Cibie Oscars), that also take a 3 pin plug. The old plug physically fits in the new headlight. Will it work? I want to keep the old wiring/plug if possible (for various reasons) and just plug it into the new headlight Edited by - irrotational on 2 Dec 2011 10:33:08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myothercarsa2cv Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 If it's still a standard H4 lamp, the connector will be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Mirylees Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Might be worth giving the connectors a good looking over. I recently was blowing the fuse on dipped beam and traced the fault to the connector which was allowing the earth to short with the dipped beam wire. Some connectors allow the terminals to be extremely close to each other and, over time when the plastic gets warm, they can allow the contact. You may be OK but they are easily replaceable and available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grebby Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Mine are excellent. The first time a saw a police car after I fitted them I got a bit of a shock It positivly glowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
