Citroen zx headlights
Hi all, an emergency has arisen as I'm off to France very soon. My drivers side low beam wasn't working the other day (high beam and parking were). I just lifted the bonnet and went to remove the globe and the unit that plugs into the headlight crumbled in my hands along with an inch of the wire. It is almost the same for the parking and high beam plugs ... does anybody know where I can source these from? I tried the breakers yards nearby and they don't have any Zx's at all to snip some connections off ... anybody got any of these connectors floating around that they don't want???

Is it the headlight bulb plug itself ?
Most cars you can borrow these from, ultimately will be a two pin or a three pin arrangement.
In an emergency, remove the wires one at a time and fit (insulated!, must use fully insulated!) crimp on spade terminals. These will fit the bulb. Do one wire at a time so you do not mix them up.

no joy, no Zx's or Ax's around and the Peurgot (and all other Citroens of that age) have nothing similar ... totally different fitting ... even though the headlights were very similar, they have different plugs .... if anybody has one spare (with at least 3 incehs of wire) there's a tenner in it for you
You would think it would be easy wouldn't you ... but no .... tried Citroen AX, Peurgots and the like but no plug is the same ... went through all sorts of cars and models but no it "HAS" to be dificult ... remeber that this isn't a standard fitting it's part of the Citroen wiring loom ... and as such it's not generic .... I need an original part ...
i know the motor factors sell the three pin plug in kit form specificly for head lamps, so im supprised they havent got the two??? pin plug kits,
if this realy is the case then buy a packet of the larger lucar (spade) crimp on terminals with the yellow sleave's,
like the 10mm type in the link below
