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.

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!! Last edited by Schotten; 29th December 2020 at 13:53..

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!!
