And as far as the pins are there different part numbers with the foot of wire already crimped on? I'd get those if I could would make easier to splice wire on them. Gonna have to stop by my local parts dept over the weekend or when I am back at the office next week!

welcome back... while you were on the cruise, we got pounded by the snow!!! freaking Phil the Groundhog lied!!! again!!! this old man winter seems to hang around longer than it did in his native russia!!! and the spring is acting like a typical woman (sorry ladies!!!), she keeps saying, yeah, yeah, i am ready, i am coming, and it takes forever and a day for her to finally come out!!!!
As far as 15-pin connector - that thing is elusive... I know for a fact that there is huge, secret warehouse somewhere in germany, where those connectors are stored, otherwise, how else those german tuners manage to sell rare to find harnesses??? but I can't pinpoint it.
so, fo the time being I think we can go with your other proposal, and pull those two pins from the trailer connector, cut off the round pins, procure some nice male and female automotive connectors (ebay has plenty of them, and it does not matter what it is, could even be Molex), thus avoiding splicing, or soldering, install the newly procured connectors onto the two wires, run the extension wires to the lower lid (keeping track of left and right fog lights) and connect them to the existing connector on the lid.
should we find the proper 15-pin connector in some not distant future, we can recrimp the round pins (we know the part number), and reinstall them back into the 15-pin connector.
However, if the car is already equipped with a trailer module, I think, pulling the two wires from the 15-pin connector will be far more beneficial. in this case we should just abandon the idea of using the 15-pin connector, and stick to a 2-pin connector exclusively for the fog light application.
your thoughts?
