Innder fender Grommet for Headlight wires


TomoHawk

Recommended Posts

Mine crumbled away recently. Can you get these anywhere? I looked in the BD and MSA catalogs, but haven't called them yet. I'm afraid that if I drive in the rain, the pressure in the wheelwells will spray water onto whatever is next to the hole, like the alternator or AFM.

thx.

OH , now I know what part your after.

They didn't exist in the earlier models, my parts catologue doesn't show it, neither has my 240 got one!

However, my 260 has. Perhaps you can find one on a parts cars or look for a later model catologue

If I could find the part on the microfiche, I could probably order one, or at least know the name of it..

Tomohawk,

I was going to suggest asking your Nissan dealer. Good thinking! If they show it as NLA, don't give up. Contact a Canadian Nissan dealer and they may be able to still order it. Seems pretty common that the US has obsoleted parts that Japan still has available. FWIW.

You might try Lowes or Ace Hardware in the electrical section. You'll be looking for P/N: GHG-1538 by GB (Gardner Bender) About $1.69 or so...5 grommets to the package. My plan is to use several long pieces of heavy duty shrinkable tubing to go over the wires and then seal them up where they go thru the grommet.

You'll be taking all three wires out of the connector. Made myself several pictures for reference purposes of the headlight connector as to where each wire goes in relation to the connector. In other words, if you had the bare headlight bulb in your left hand and you had the connector in you right hand with the wires attached, just connect the two and make note as to where each wire is going. You'll need to cut apart/seperate the wires inside the metal bulb housing as they are bonded together three across. That way when you feed them back thru the new grommet one at a time to connect them back into the connector it should not be a problem. You can use the pictures as a reference source and put the color codes for each wire in it's correct place/location. (Before you tear it apart of course....)

Take your car or the part to the Nissan Dealer and show it to them. I believe that it's a common part and not specific to your car. I know you said yours crumbled away, but that's only 1, you still have the other side. It's probably called a "gasket" or a "grommet"
