Title: 2-Pin Electrical Connectors
Post by: Conker on 14 January 2008, 13:54: Sorry for multiple questions today - as you can probably tell, I'm sorting out loads of car stuff!

I bought these from VW to re-connect up my indicators (that were nicked!):

Now, I thought they would come with the metal contacts already inside, and then I would just crimp the wire inside it onto the contact, however there is no metal inside them!

So... What do I need to connect them to the male connector?

Bloody hell, the VW guy should have told me that. He already ripped me off by Ã‚£8 for two bits of plastic :angry:

Cheers.

I think this might be the terminal I need - can anyone confirm this?:
