Running light Connector

From CEM to VEM, from LED to lightbulb and more. If you have an electrical problem, like a broken info-centre, search for answers in this category. This is also the place to be when you expect the problem to be of an electrical nature...

Running light Connector

Post by spree » Fri Nov 08, 2013 2:51 pm

I was just installing some of my led running light bulbs on the new 480 and found that the bulb connector on the drivers side is only two pin and the bulb is a different type.

I'm presuming the wrong connector has been fitted unless anybody else knows otherwise?

I haven't tried swapping the bulb holder from my other car yet as I thought I would ask about on here. Very odd!

No its not odd just unusual. In the UK we have the 3pin dual element day running lights but if its a continental cluster it has only 2 pins , a single element and a smaller low wattage . This comes about if the dealer cant source a new uk one then if they are persistent they can source a continental one instead. I know this because I have a continental set of front clusters on my 480 .

Nice one Jim! Thanks for the info. Do you happen to have a 3 pin version knocking around that we could add to my goodie bag?

Cheers mate.
