« on: 12 August 2015, 10:09:18 pm »
Anyone know where the hell i can find a h1 connector?

its got 2 prongs on the bottom and the h1 bulb slots into it, i can only find the plain plastic one that holds the bulb but doesnt have the prongs

I got a H4 from Halfords, I would expect them to have a H1 as well. Whatever you do don't buy those ceramic ones from ebay. They look really good but the connectors don't grip onto the bulb prongs very well. I had one on my divvy and it got so hot it melted the insulation off its own wiring.

Could do a free online breakers search but for £13 is it really worth the effort?

I've just reread your description and you don't need that if you've got your HID in, it's just a spacer really.
But you should have one of these http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=371345170628&alt=web for your HID to hold it in. :)

You sure will, but you won't be in any rush, so a £1 a week for next 13 weeks and you'll get a new one :rollin
