Headlight connectors

[Bikerz]

Weird one guys

I have these connectors to put onto my R32 headlights







Problem is they dont fit onto my headlights, I need the older type with only 1 side of clip that locks in. These don't fit. VW dont know what the older ones are but ackowledge these are wrong ones. Anyone know part number of older style 12 pin headlight connectors? Or where can I get some? Its not just me the Auto spraky couldn't get them to fit and said you rang TPS who said you need the old ones that they cant get hold of bar a scrap yard.

Everywhere I look says it should be that part number.

Is the plug definately that part. It will have the code on it below the vw Audi symbols.

Yeah part number stamped on clip. TPS were aware of this and said the mk5 platform has 2 types of 12 pin clips, but could only remember this and only have 1 clip listed on their system and didnt want to commit without a part number. I think I shall order some mk4 r32 12 pin clips with this part number 1J0 941 185, they look right.  Its a intresting one, I have found another mk5 owner with same problem however he never reported if he solved problem and how. My headlights only have a locking in tab on the 1 side (Wish I took pics now of the headlight clip bit)

For future guys, I just ripped locking tab out. fitted fine and never came out

I've got the older type connectors in the garage at home ready for my xenon retrofit. Can post the part numbers from them if it's of any future use. I know it's a bit late now though!
