one of my friends gave me a pair of dj autos ... i noticed that the low beam pin(sorry for stealing pic) is broken/gone. where could i go locally to replace it at? would radio shack have this??



the pin at 6 oclock is gone..

just take that whole thing out and connecdt the wires directly if you want

contact some of the vendors...they might have some spare parts lying around

At last resort you could get part #63128363866 from mileoneparts.com, but that's prob worth over 1/2 that of the headlight...

As far as locally, i think your best bet would just be take it with you and go to all of those places such as radio shack, can't hurt. DDM had no problem separating a lens from a headlight when I was in need of one, so if available I'm sure they would accommodate you...Give them a call real quick.

I agree, bypass the 4 pin connector completely, just take out the 4 pin, cut the wires and then solder them directly to the PnP. No more stupid connector problems.

The pin's broken or it's just not there? Maybe the pin got pushed all the way inside the headlight. I have DJ Autos and a couple of my pins are loose, gotta be careful not to let them get pushed all the way in.

That sucks man, but its not a big deal. Your going to have to open the headlight and just do direct connections, thats what I had to do, it wasnt hard just time consuming.
