what part do I need for my headlight?

[mitchr32]

tried to get it repaired today with the harness some nice bloke sent me,  and they said it wasn't the right harness, one i got had 9 picks, r32 headlight has 11/12. all wires in the headlight are toast and i'm not completely sure what I need, new headlight loom? or do i need to replace something else where the wires go into the headlight?



thank you

Whats actually wrong with the current one? there should be a part number on your current one (1J........)

insulation is damned on all of the wires, which is making it short circuit and pop the fuse, guy i took it to said i could get them to repair the insulation but no guarantee it'll work and that the wires are quite brittle etc

it's the wires going from the loom to the lightbulb(s)?

i dont know how to explain it sorry lol

The connector you're looking for should have part number 1J0 941 165.

I have one car here with a damaged R32 [xenon] headlight that could have a good internal harness in it, but I would have to check

PM me if you like, but be real in what you are prepared to pay. These are rare parts
