Electrical contact terminal part numbers

[Phil and Judy Rose <pjrose@servtech.com>]

DeWitt:

Jeff Goggin once posted the following (in reference to his '90 200q, I
believe) which may contain some of the info you're in need of:

>>also ordered a few extra parts from Linda @ Carlsen Audi to make the
>>installation
>>a little easier and neater.  These included eight official (and
>>surprisingly
>>costly) Audi spade lugs (Part No. N-0170851-4), two plastic spade lug holders
>>(PN 447 972 957, one for each light) and two rubber boots (PN 447 941 189)
>>to cover everything and keep the water out. 

HTH,

Phil R.
