[V8] Euro Headlamp Connectors, Russian Catalog

[Dave Head]

older 190E class tail lamp plug. They are plastic instead of bakelite, 
but work fine. Any of the older Mercedes use the same 'style' plug for 
the tail lamp - they won't fit (8 pin or 6 pin with ) but the female 
pins are the same. I go to the junkyard and grab them, then buy the E 
class plug from the dealer. Reason? The pins from the Merc dealer are 
like 4.00 bucks each, and the plug is like 6.00. That's 30.00 per side!
FYI - the Audi pn for the plug is supposed to be 441 972 966 - but you 
can't find them in the US...

Here's the original post - prices are out of date. The Merc dealer 
usually stocks 1. Takes 4-5 days to get the part in:

Ok sorry I havent get back to the posts on the Euro lights I have the info on
where to get
the plugs and the pins. Enough talk.
The plugs are available through mercedes benz parts
Part # 011-545-50-28        you will need 2 of these at 2.55 each .
The pins are available at MB parts also
Part # 003-545-26-26       you will need 12 of these at 2.55
each .

these are a solder type plug so you will need wire and solder and a soldering gun
and flux
to do this or you can go to a salvage yard and get the left and the right taillamp

harnesses out of a 190E Mercedes Benz.they come with the wires already solderd to
the pins
and the plastic plugsthat fit perfectly to the euro lamp!!!
