Fog light wiring connector Options

[Jameel]

Working on my fogs and found this connector. It's a 3M. Looks like a giant Scotch Lock connector like I use for telephony connections outdoors. Makes sense given the wet location. Is it stock? And if I rewire these, are they still available? I'm thinking of putting some Cibie Iodes instead, with a custom bracket, so considering my options.

Aha. Thanks for that.

Honest those connectors are a pet hate of mine,replace them with push pin male and female connectors and solder and heatshrink the connectors ok,you will be good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .

I thought they actually looked fairly neat compared to a lot of the hack work I've run into. That said, they are off the car now. Thanks.

Oddly enough, the factory had to disassemble the fog lights to install them... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

There are plenty of other connectors out there that would handle this just as well without looking so out of place. But the original setup isn't that bad. You really shouldn't be removing foglights all that much anyway. So if it were me, I would just resplice the wire ends, heatshrink with an adhesive lined shrink tube, and if you ever have to remove the fog lights, you can just do it the way the factory did.

I'm planning to fit some old Cibie Iodes with yellow centers, so I'll be building new custom grills and mounts for these. Good time to redo the connectors.
