Help with US vs European headlight wiring Volvo 940
Hello all,
I recently procured a pair of Ecodes for my 944. In my naïveté I thought that I could simply plug in the wiring from my old headlights into the new, but the plug/socket is completely different. Photos attached.
Is there a simple solution? Do I need a new plug to solder the existing wires into? What part number would that be?
Thanks in advance,
Jack
Ecode socket
Existing plug
Existing assembly

Yep - Euro uses two bulbs, with that 4 prong connector - there are new "pigtails" (replacement wire with male or female bullet connectors) available - I think Volvo even sells them. This guy might have or at least have pictures of stuff you will need.
