Repairing the wiring inside the headlights

EndOfAnEra · 01-31-2020, 05:15 PM

So as our cars get older, I'm sure many of you have experienced headlight issues due to wiring. Have any of you fixed the wiring yourself? Please share your experience.

I am thinking of spending a weekend putting heat shrink over the wiring inside the headlights to stop errors. I could probably source the pins from BMW. Thoughts?

Has anyone done this themselves?

I did this on a couple sets of headlights that I modified. Wasn't too bad. I used the existing pins, just slide the heat shrink over the pins and heat. I did this one at at time so I didn't put the pin back into the wrong slot.
