    s14a headlight bulb? plus wiring on back of 14a headlight

    hi folks, my head has gone to completely mush as of late with being so busy working on the car, i've done a seach on here and can't find anything, i cannot remember for the life of me what standard headlight bulbs fit in an s14a as i'm gonna buy a few tomorrow, i think it's an H1 isn't it??

    and on the back of the s14a headlight the green wire goes onto a spade terminal to the bulb and where does the black wire go to?

    doing some work to some headlights so will be good to get them fully functioning again

    also what about the s14a bumper front fog lights? i've got a bulb out and have not had a chance due to bad weather to whip a bulb out to check???

    aye thought so, cheers

    and what about the black wire on the back of the headlight where does that go onto? surely a spade terminal sticking out on the unit? cheers.

    one connector (should have a straight female spade) goes on the back of the H1, the other female spade, (right angle connector) goes on the metal surrounding where the bulb sits, theres a bit it slides onto just to the right of the bulb

    had a look at the back today

    put a blue female spade connector on the h1 bulb and then the black earth wire i crimped onto a female spade connector and onto the H looking shape sticking up part of the back of the light unit.

    tried it on and works perfect
