if you need aUS account let me know.

I'm not exactly sure what part you are talking about but the easiest thing to do when running new wires into the door is to just drill a 1/4 hole in the door near the factory wire harness and just add your own waterproof grommet. Factory harnesses are always a PITA to work with.

I have a US ebay acount myself thanks. I wish I had known about the harness before I started. I had debated drilling a new hole and using a grommet as I've done in past vehicles, but the instructions seemed to make it look easy and would result in a totally hidden install. The stupid harness clip I broke only comes with the whole harness, I found out today, so it would be $242 to get the part I need.[:@] Iam just going to make a new hinge andglue it to the old clip. Hope to have the H3 back on the road soon.

You know it. Originally I thought "It's a stupid plastic clip, can't be that much!" My jaw dropped when they told me the price. So fixing it I will be this weekend.

Don't forget to choose color. They come in red or amber. Also ask for the HMOD kit if needed, they will give you a deal on this too.

If you ordered the heated signal mirror model, and your truck does not already have heated side mirrors, you need their HMOD (Heated Mirrors On Demand) module as well. This will wire in with an extra switch to heat your mirrors up. It's around $50-$60 I think.

Hey buddy, I have a great set of pick/tool thingies that I picked up from the local Snap-On man that has the answer. They are made to fit almost any major auto manufaturers electrical connectors and have been a real life saver. Don't know the Snappy part no# but look at their stuff and ask. They know how to sell you and take ALL YOUR MONEY. I know and am eternally gratefull for it.......my wife hates Snap-On. She says the Snappy Guy is a Tool *****, always showing his stuff 'till we guys gotta have it.
