What the hell is up with these??? HELP!

[Cupra Turbo]

Im at work so I phone me ol' lad and hes been to see the parts guy at VW.

Ive been given sum new bulb holders for FREE and sum new connectors for FREE and also shown how to remove the fog holder thingy for FREE

but yea id still like to know what connectors other people have cos this is puzzling me as to why i have oval ones and the haynes book/VW say they should be square on a '97 Golf.

black_gti...


i'm at almost exactly the same point with my car. had no problem with the fogs though.

my car has the rounded stuff just like yours.


i have an ETKA number for what might be the right part...

6k0 953 123 b


do you know if thats right?

goto a VW dealership and tell em that a square dont fit a circle ... and u want the correct connectors.

I got em free cos they were classed as "bit and bobs" and werent gonna be used...

[Overseer]

yeah i did, they gave me that etka number and were being fags about ordering them if they might be the wrong ones. so i dont wanna commit to order unless i know they'll be right (they cant tell from the etka)

does yours have a part number on?

been back again after work. the guy i spoke to this morning wasn't there.. spoke to a younger guy that i spoke to last week, along with another guy. they were cool, ended up suggesting the same part as dude this morning. they should be about 2 days and are cool with me not takin if its the wrong part

[Overseer]

went back today to pick up my order.. guess what..  they have the wrong ones!!!  i had to run back around to work and actually take my car around and show them that i'm not lying about the connector on the car..

so after all that it, appears as though vw changed the connector on the '98 mk3s, the very very last ones, and all cars before have the round style... so etka defaults to the newest part.

finally got the right ones on order, and should have em early next week.

means no smoked lights + fog fitting again this weekend though

i'll post the right ETKA number up once i have em.

i know it ended in 123E, so it might be  6k0 953 123 E

( 6K0 953 123 B was the wrong one...)

[Cupra Turbo]

I knew I had summet to do... my part number for my smoked indicators is...

1HO 953 049 E
