Rather than replacing my front marker lights (cat eyes) I'd like to rebuild them... the housing, doors, lens, plugs, and supports can all be reused but the connector assemblies are shot... suggestions as to a source to replace
this part of the light? (24 volt system)

That's my question actually... who are the vendors who sell repair kits... I've found several who offer the complete marker light, or doors, lens, but not just the connector assembly and I haven't a repair kit... or if anyone else replaced the light connector assembly with an aftermarket part from an auto part supplier - what did they use.

Your question has been asked many times here. If you google marker lights or use our own search function and query "marker lights" and specify "technical forum" you will get dozens of the early answers.
I didn't see any front marker light repair kits at Saturn. They have several for the larger light assemblies. _________________ Wes K

Thanks for the responses.... the first thing I always do is a Google and forum search. Unfortunately most of the discussions had to do with turn signal conversion, lenses, doors, etc, rather than the connector. I always try doing my homework

I have been told many times that vendors like Saturn
have infinitely more inventory than what is shown on their
websites. A phone call would confirm.
Ken, if the bulb housing is good and all you need are the terminal
grommet and spring, you can buy those in pigtail form
at the auto parts stores. In the post below you'll see a two wire
setup, but the single wire is identical just only one wire.
