Rear Fog Light Connector - Where to obtain?

Hi,
I'm planning to fit a 2nd rear fog light on the nearside to replace the reflector.

I have purchased the fog light from my local ford dealer and it came complete with the bulb holder.

My problem is that to make a good connection I need the 2-pin waterproof plug that is normally on the end of the wiring loom. I tried a breakers yard yesterday but they indicated that they would not cut a plug with ~10-15cm of wire from an otherwise good wiring loom.

Can anyone indicate a source of an identical new plug or know of where I might obtain one? I think the plug is probably used by Fords on a number of their models as my Kuga has the same connectors on the fog lights.

Thanks in advance
Carl

You can normally get plugs and pins etc from main dealers. I know this is the case when we do mercs at work, not 100% sure for Ford.

Thanks for that, I eventually identified them as SICMA / FCI connectors and found a source at http://www.simtekuk.co.uk/www.simtekuk. ... cat=359056. I've now got two fog lights working.

I also built a small box with a couple relays in it to apply 12v to the fog light bulbs connected in series (ie 6v each bulb) to come on with the sidelights and to put 12v on them connected in parallel when the fog light switch is pressed.
