Rear lamp cluster connector
 
Hi there, does anyone know where I could get a male version of the 6 pin rear lamp cluster connector? I’m making up a short loom and need the male housing and pin set to complete. I reckon they are MQS Quadloks, but I can’t readily find anywhere that sells them or indeed a photo/image to see if it is correct. I dear say BMW may sell them - but at a price!!! Trying to find pins for these type of connectors appears harder than I thought.

If you get really stuck maybe you have a car breakers near you with an R 75 being broken.---:icon_question:

Thanks, did that. Now looking for the male connector (lamp cluster side) to fit the female (loom side). Any ideas?

The connector in the picture below is very popular over here in France and I'm sure in England too.

No soldering needed. The small orange lever lifts up and the two wires you want to connect put into the opening and the lever pushed down to make a really firm connection.

I've used them many times and they work really well.

In fact they are installed in all my ceiling lamps. ( Mains to lamp wires. )


PS. Easy to connect and disconnect.---NO TOOLS NEEDED.

Afternoon, thanks for the pictures. I’m after the fitting the connector plugs into (integral to the light unit). See my picture below. This plugs into lamp assembly, but there is a stand alone ‘socket’ with male PINs to fit.

I ‘might’ have tracked down a supplier. I believe they are made by TE Connectivity (AMP) and are the 070 series ‘quadlock’ (various PIN combinations male/female). But trying to work out which is which is not the easiest, I’ll email them and see what kind of response I get. Keep you posted!!

This is the link - as you’ll see a few choices can be made! I’ve tried to filter down from approximately 7000 to sub 40!!
