Default Where can I buy this connector for my HID kit?



A few weeks ago I was having trouble with my HID kit in the R, and it turns out corrosion was to blame. Cleaned up the terminals as best as I could, but I believe the corrosion came back and ruined the connector pictured above. I know for sure its the harness. I've emailed Trevor at visualdynamics.ca, but he hasnt reponded yet. So I was hoping to get some input from my HT homeys.
Does anyone have suggestions or know where I can buy another one of these connectors/harnesses?

THANKS!!

For some reason that doesn't surprise me

Maybe try some dielectric grease to prevent the corrosion?

As soon as I get this problem fixed, I'm buying a load of dielectric grease! hehe! Thanks for the suggestion.

Lay off the guy. By law he's not supposed to be selling/exporting/importing these hid systems or related equipment anymore. He helped me out after the hid ban took effect, and I am sure there are lots of others here who have been satisfied with his services.

I had Emailed him twice (before the kits became illegal to sell) when I was looking to buy an HID kit -- never heard back from him *shrug*

Yea I e-mailed him a couple times as well with no reply to some of my e-mails. I think his e-mail server sucks and tends to lose messages because when he does send a reply he usually sends it very quickly.
Oh well, good luck to TypeRod. Hope you get the problem resolved.

I have heard back from Trevor, he's sending me a new connector. I just hope that solves the problem. I know the corrosion affected the connector and the rest of the harness seems to be in good condition, so I can only just assume that the problem lies in the connector plugging into the ballast. Thanks for the good luck wish, phackoff.
