harperc Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 I recently purchased a fog light on eBay for my IS300. I should stop there, but I'll continue for the sake of humoring you. The 2 ends of the wiring connectors do not match up. Does Lexus use more than one type of wiring harness/connector or did I get one from a non-US make? Is there an adapter or will cutting the wires and connecting them work?
izzy300 Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Get another set of connectors and crimp them on. Yeh, fabbing wiring harnesses for most apps is fairly simple. I have to do the same thing for my fog light since I hit a tree in the road awhile back and it destroyed my bumper, fender well, foglight wiring. Anyway, I plan to just use 2 negative blade terminals - the kind you use for speaker wiring - and just slide the blades on the light bulb to get a good connection. Pretty simple this way, and it should work for you, too ;) good luck
harperc Posted July 8, 2008 Author Posted July 8, 2008 I just spliced the wires & crimped them together, which worked. Thanks! Get another set of connectors and crimp them on.
