NX300h F Sport Headlight plug

[Pejay777]

Anyone know where I can get a headlight plug like the one in the picture attached? My local Lexus dealer cant find it on his system as a separate plug, seems to come with the engine bay wiring loom at over £1300!!! Also, I wonder if the RAV 4 one would be the same?

I have no idea what a .heic file is but my Windows 10 computer can't open it. Can you post in a normal .jpg or .png file format?

It looks similar to this, but doesn't show up on the NX connector list.

Update..... found quite a few of them online for around $25-$35 delivered to UK

I then rang my local Toyota dealer with the part number in the link Colin barber sent me and they have one in stock for £18 pick up tomorrow....Happy days!!!

Ah... I was a bit late with my reply! Glad you got it sorted.

[Herbie]

Thanks anyway Jeff 

I've now discovered it's an apple file of some sort, which is typical - the whole world does things one way but apple are out on their own and don't want to play with us

No, it's an MPEG file format, supported by apple IOS and MacOS, Android, Ubuntu, Adobe, Canon etc.

Just not very web friendly at the moment.

Hi Guys, The headlight plug arrived today with all the help/advice and thanks to you all on this forum.

It is the correct plug for the NX300h.

However, could anyone walk me through how to remove and insert the wires into the plug holes? Is there some sort of release pin I need to find and press to release/insert the wires individually?

[Zotto]

Probably you have to insert a little pin or screwdriver to ply the block ledge over each contact at the extremity of each wire, then you can pull it from the old plug and insert in the same position to the new one. Be careful to not change position of wires!

Some good info here 👍

[Grumps]

There are some tools specially developed for removing the pins. Try looking up 'electrical pin removal tool' and there are quite a few options available from the usual sources.

How about this?

Good tools, using "single pin" one you should succeed in doing the work. When I had to do something similar I used a tiny screwdriver for watchmaking.

[Pejay777]

I may have a plug with wires if its a better option to solder them?
