Finally got around to fixing my headlight plug that had the tab broken and kept working loose. Found a plug on ebay with wires already attached. Just had to solder and heat shrink them together. And now it is long enough to reach the headlight before installing if I ever have plug issues or to test.

I'll be doing this as part of my winter hibernation. Got an email link for me?

This may have been the last one he had, but keep an eye out and he may have more?

Thanks Kboggs. It's added to my shopping list. Sadly I'll be taking it off the road here pretty quick. Sigh.

I have also broken blue headlight plug. For the repair, I ordered a new plug from local Porsce delaer at the cost of 14€ (999-650-150-40 "Porsche Connector Housing for Headlight Harness).
Ths is the blue plug WITHOUT any cables or metal pins.
Since my cables and meteal pins are fine, I will take the pins/wires out from old blue plug housing and push them in to new plug housing one by one with a cheap thin metal tool made to remove the pins from plug housings (non Porsche tool - ebay has bunch of these, etc). No soldering nor cutting cables

I like the idea of being able to plug the cable in with the headlight out. So an extension makes sense.

Swapped the short shifter in. Original shifter had already 'some play' in it, so brand new shortshifter feels rock solid :dance:
