^^^^

The reason is I bought a second set of lights on ebay (for a second front bumper I am working on) but they came without the harness plug, the seller said he could ship some plugs for the 81-85 if they were the same, he did not know and nor do I .

I am also not near my car to take a picture the 79 plug. Sounds like the I need two 79 plugs if I want to be able to have the second light set just plug in

With a crimper you can make bullet connetors for everything then tie it up with some electrical tape. Just be sure to annotate your work.

I don't want to damage the connectors on the car , so a bullett connnection isn't an option .

Okay sorry it took so long to get. Been busy and had to work. The black connector is the FB harness out of the light. These are Aus lights but they are the same as the US ones. The white harness is the SA's
