Headlight wiring harness clip

Simon PMB · Feb 27th, 2022, 16:43

Today I fitted upgraded Xenon bulbs (Philip D2R X-tremeVision Gen2) to my 2007 3.2 and removed the headlights to make this easier.

One side was fine, but on the other the red clip to release the wiring loom multiplug was completely stuck and looked like it had not been removed for years.

I tried levering it gently apart but the plastic was very brittle and eventually it broke

I was still able to change the bulb and it works fine, but now need to look at fixing the broken clip. Is there any way to replace just the red clip, or am I better buying a second hand wiring harness for the headlight?

Many thanks

Dealer will selp you one, I think with a short length of wiring attached for you to graft on. I don't think it's super expensive.

You could try a used one but then risk the same thing happening.
