headlight HB4 connector plug

Post by mivecboy »

My left headlight is blown, after taking it out i discovered the plastic plug which connect to the HB4 bulb is burnt. I want to source one from wrecker, does anyone know what other models share the same HB4 so I can source the plastic plug? I have been told the Celica ST204 1994+ might fit.

its a pretty standard plug the HB4 but the socket may not be as this could be different for different reflectors...

Say what now? You lost me on that one. HB4 is a standard connecter HB4 being the connection type. Since a HB4 bulb has a matching connector it wouldn't matter what car it's from as long as it's a HB4.

Sorry I don't know other cars that use HB4 but I think it would be safe to assume there would be plenty.

How much are they meant to be?

Yeah, I had exactly the same thing happen to both my headlights, ironically after changing to new 55w narva's (the old ones were 60w). They still work though, but guess I should get the sockets changed asap.
