T500K - headlight question

Post by pipelinepete »

Hi,
I'm in the process of reassembling the T500K (restoration). I'm concerned about the headlight that came with the bike; the wiring harness doesn't seem to fit. It has a 3-wire male connector but there's no matching female connector. Have I got the wrong headlight?? Comments appreciated, thanks. Peter

I just popped the headlight off my T500K - looks like you have the wrong one there. Mine has the wires from the light going to separate little plugs.

If headlight fits and the globe is the right one can't you just cut off the plug and crimp on the correct ones?
