Hi there,

I am a novice and this may seem like a stupid question, however I need it answered lol

I decided to rebuild/restore a 1985 classic mini mayfair from the bare shell up, getting to the latter stages doing the electrics which I don't have much knowledge about but am a fast learner if someone can help.

Bought new headlamps and the wiring that was supposedly needed for them from minispares.com yet I cant figure out how it all attaches.
The sidelight bulb part does detach from the main beam plug but I still cant work out how the sidelight fits. Picture is attached.

Put your side light bulb into the holder then press holder onto headlight terminals.

Thank you for your reply.
Originally tried this but didn't think it looked right? Have attached another picture.

So you have bought incompatible parts.

Have you bought the quadoptic lights and the harness for sealed units?

The side light holder for the quadoptic should have been included if you bought the kit.


Part numbers for what you exactly bought or links?

[BenPiddington]

yes, bought each light separate with this harness (your right a sealed unit harness)

Here is the bulb holder for the Quadoptic https://www.minispar...|Back to search

this bulb holder can replace the one on the harness i have or do I need to buy a different harness?

Get the correct side light holder and splice it in.
