Such a simple DIY headlight replacement-what could go wrong? So, I got out my manual and did it as described except that when I turned on the lights to check, no lights on the replaced side. A little investigation showed that I had problems with the car mounted electrical connector. Something had shifted and the yellow plastic (9963124600) L shaped retaining clip was broken and under the car were several blue plastic tab pieces from the connector itself.
It appears that I need a new connector. Are they available? Is there a "jury rig" fix?
Any and all thoughts will be appreciated. Tom

Maurice-great tip. The problem seems to be a bad connector. tom coughlin - Monday, 5 December, 2011, at 9:02:05 am |
