[V8] Euro Headlights

[urq]

... I would recommend against doing this sort of thing.  Headlamps do draw a
few amps of current *and* they generate heat on their own.  It may work for
a while, but eventually the heat will cause the connection to deteriorate
and at least dim the light from your new lights ... and at worst cause a
fire ... 

I see Euro lamps sets going for $400 and up ... why not make the effort to
get the appropriate connectors for the bulbs?

If you need something for a short term solution you might consider this ...
but don't expect to leave this on for the long term.

Another solution is to stop by your FLAPs and pick up a box of 16-14 gauge 
female bullet splice terminations. These fit perfectly over the pins on the 
euro headlights. To provide a bit more of a moisture seal when the bullet 
connecter is on the pin, cover it with a heat shrink wrap that extends a 
little beyond the open end of the connector. Not as pretty as the MB 
connectors, or the oem connectors but they fit and work.
