[V8] Euro Headlights

[Ron Wainwright]

I agree.....But a friend of mine works at the local MB
dealer & I got my connectors & pins for FREE. The pins
are open at the top so the wire can pass through & be
soldered. Once the connector is snaped shut there
isn't alot of roon for excess wire, ect...so the MB
solder on pins are perfect. Cause you have to run
thick guage wire through the connector.
