Default Replaced Headlight Connector

Hey all, been busy the last month but now back The 323 has had for a while now a flickering right headlight that I have been putting off repairing until today, the light would go out hitting one bump and come on again the next bump (or if you hit the headlight) so I tore it apart today and look at what I found. Soldered on a used connector from an Opel and now all is good BTW the "goop" you see in the connector was some copper anti-seize I had laying around that I just put in as a temporary fix till I could get the time to do it properly, worked good for a while but as most temporary fixes go it didnt last too long, here's hoping for the eggs in the radiator

Hmm. It seems the plastic got brittle and broke.

Let us know when the eggs hatch!

Yeah, it got brittle from the heat due to poor connection, the other side is fine and is not brittle....yet. Eggs are doing fine BTW, today will be 91F and I have to use the 323 to go into town.....here's hoping.
