Where can I buy the headlight connector?

Post by weasel »

Hi there,

I want to replace the black square connector that plugs into the back of the headlight bulb. Trouble is I can't find one on the web, maybe because I don't actually know what it is I'm searching for....

Mine has a dodgy connection and at the moment my headlight bulb only works intermittently and with a lot of prodding of that connector. Also, one side of the connector (where the dodgy connection is) has partially melted. All this happened before I owned the bike.

So, does anyone know where I can get one of these (or what I should be looking for)? I could also do with replacing the piece that the bulb inserts into too....

Thanks in advance.

+1 on the ceramic bulb holder. Make sure the wires comeout at an angle rather that straight out the back and it''ll need the old one cut off from loom and this one carefully resoldered in and sealed up.
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
