I had started what I assumed would be a quick job a while ago, but the new lenses used spade connectors instead of bullet connectors and I did not have time to make up some adapters.   I’m sure it would have only cost a couple of cents more to make them actually fit, so I am perplexed as to why they are made this way.

Overall the job was easy but I am not particularly impressed by the quality of these units.   They don’t quite fit right and the plastic is very easy to crack when screwing in.    The car does look better, but I am not holding my breath when it comes to longevity.

DS front indicator swap

I went to do the swap over today, but for whatever reason, the new indicators cannot simply plug into the factory wiring harness, they have spade terminals when the car uses bullets.

Its not that big a deal to make an adaptor, but really you should not have to with a replacement part.   No time today, so there will need to be a part 2.
