I just used a little solvent and elbow grease to clean them up. It is hard to tell from the pictures but the strikers are brushed aluminum and the latches are brushed steel. I don't know if they are all like that or if I got some special ones.

[Digibeam]

wow those door latches look incredible!!  i would really like to have a set that looks like those

Seat belt upper covers/caps from two different BMWs described in the first thread. A decent day at the junkyard.

Power window switch from a Cadillac Catera. I should have taken a picture of the car I got it from but I didn't think of it.

A trip to the junkyard turned up a nice pair of 1974 Mercedes door hinges. They cleaned up real nice. These are the hinges described in the first post. I have also attached a pic of the car they came from.

[BigPines]

Wow, I feel dumb. Yep, I just pulled on them and they came right out. I just assumed they were the locking type of connectors. You know what happens when you assume...

I hope these pics help. The only marking on them is the number 2 as seem below. Hopefully, you will be able to find the correct connector. If you do, please post back here so we can add it to the list.

Looks like the 'hinge and latch' that go across the connector are to hold the terminals in place, here is a picture of my socket ,and the only place for the plug to latch onto is down the sides adjacent to the hinge . If you can peer down and see if the yellow sticks out a bit then it would just need a small implement inserted to release each side.
I only asked as I was going by ebay pics which showed the wires unplugged.

[BigPines]

String has asked for close-up pics of the solenoid connectors so he can try to source the parts. We all know how Neil likes his connectors to be spot on.

I couldn't figure out how to release the connectors and I didn't want to break them so this is the best I could do for now. It looks like there is a hinge on one side and a buckle on the other but I can't get my smallest flat head driver in there to unlatch it. Want to describe to a dummy how to do this?

I purchased some Audi A6 projectors on eBay and have confirmed they are the exact same part as on the Murcielago (see Mr. Butler's pics above). The electric lid in these is interesting. It works just fine with a little 12v power. The brown wire is negative and the white, positive.

Good news! D2S connectors can easily be added to those cheap Hella ballasts I picked up making them exactly the same as the OEM ballasts at a fraction of the price.

Again, the ballasts: http://www.ebay.com/itm/161090619782?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

plus the D2S connectors: http://www.ebay.com/itm/290960103493?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Gives you a pair of OEM spec ballasts for $36.88 including shipping! You really can't beat that.

WARNING: Working with these ballasts involves high voltage. Please exercise caution.

Hookup is dead simple. There is a large red wire and a smaller wire which is sometimes yellow. The large red wire goes to the center contact and the smaller yellow wire goes to the outside/edge contact in the D2S connector. Then all you need is the projector lenses for a complete headlight set-up.

Thanks! Those are great!

Pines I totally forgot, I'll go outside right now and take pictures, I'm on my phone or I would upload them tonight. Thanks for the reminder, sorry for the wait...


And I don't have any other OEM lights that go into the bucket..
