Need Used Wire Harness Parts - Headlight & Parking Light Pigtails
Hello, folks,
I am looking for a source of old C2 wiring harness parts, specifically I need the pigtails with connectors from the front parking light assemblies, and pigtails with connectors that would normally come out from both headlight buckets.
Condition isn't too critical, so long as the connectors are intact and they have at least 3 or 4 inches of wire left on them that I can splice onto.
I have a 63 with an Ecklers style front end. I need to mate my new wiring harness with the existing custom light setup, and I'd rather fabricate intermediate connectors, instead of butchering up my brand new wiring harness.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can probably buy new from Lectric Limited and it will probably not be that more then used....
I installed a new Lectric Limited wiring harness (rear, under dash and front) last summer in my 60... Quite pleased with it...

Tried that...nobody wants to sell any pieces (connectors) separately, and I can't see spending $40.00 from the Corvette vendors for a set of headlight bucket harnesses or $45.00 for a pair of parking light pigtails that I will have to cut up anyway...

I'm pretty sure I have the parking light pigtails and connectors you need, I'm not sure about the headlight connectors. I've cannabalized the harness a few times for some folks and I think the h/l portion is gone. I'll go out to the shed today and have a look.

I stumbled across a company recently that does in fact sell parts for wiring harnesses. It is a company that makes complete wiring harnesses and they are starting a new company just for selling parts. I thought it was lectric Limited but their site does not mention it.
It may be Dr. Rebuild. I will try to find the company.
Edit: I have not been able to find the site. I wish I had saved the site. If I run across it soon, I will repost.

I am having the same problem looking for connectors for my 66 Hazard Switch. Companies like Lectric must buy there connectors from someone but how can we find out.

by the way, Lectric Limited sells the headlight bucket extension portion of the harness seperately - it's like all of $50 or so (depending on glass or metal headlight buckets) - here is a pic of the "first design" headlight bucket portion (VHX6300):
Then again, their entire "front lamp harness" (VHL6300M) for the 63 is $157:

Have headlight connectors
I have the headlight connectors if you still don't have them.
E-mail if you need them: shooter1951@shelbywb.coop
Hey John Z. I noticed that link you posted had light bulbs but it was under construction. Do they have the correct U.S. made parking, turning lights for the midyears? Thanks, Shooter

Trim Parts makes the best midyear parking lights (U.S.-made); the Taiwan lights are lousy. Almost all the Corvette parts houses sell the Trim Parts lights - make sure when you order that you're getting the Trim Parts stuff.

Welcome to the CF. If the wire harness has been stored in a inside environment, it should be good too use, but I would look it over. As a side note. It's sometimes best too not hook onto a 7 yr. old post. It could contain outdated information. Best to start a fresh thread. Dennis
