eurolight connectors

[Linus Toy]

Interesting to read the post by Peter Henriksen on Chris Miller's site...the
prices he paid in '96 were about the same as I paid in '98 from Ned Ritchie
($22), though I don't think Ned still has them.  May be worth a call, though.

FWIW, it is worth going thru the trouble to do it right with the connector
block and the rubber boot...every time the headlights come out (timing belt
change, water pump, radiator replacement, radiator hose replacement,
thermostat, Samco hose install, etc) you get to juggle with the headlight
wiring.  The boot helps keep the insides of the lights clean...after 5 years
without the boots, my lights got quite grimy inside...fortunately, the Euros
are easy to disassemble and clean, but why risk the reflector silvering?

My 2 pennies.
