Head Light wiring cracking up!!

Post by Cream 280SE »

Hi all

I went to replace some parking light bulbs the other day, as the left front parking light continues to blow!

I looked at all the headlight wiring, and the plastic insulation has just cracked away to nothing , leaving bare copper wire!!

Wonder if there are replacement headlight wiring harnesses??

If you are talking about the harness inside the headlamp, the answer is NO. Would even be a challenge to rewire the internal wiring, best option I can think of is some careful use of electrical tape.
