Source for 8" H4 connectors?
A friend is converting his S4 to H4's and needs the female connector. He's already checked w devek and 928I (not sure about 928spec) and no-joy. Anybody know where you can get these?

I'm not sure of what you mean. I thought (and I may of course be mistaken) that all S4's came stock with 8" H4 lenses. That's what my GT has, and when I upgraded my 86.5 to S4 lenses, that's what I got and put on.
Are you sure it's H4 that he's trying to install?

Ed,
I know that all S4's came w 8" headlights but am pretty sure that they're H5, the US spec. Again, not an expert, but I don't think H4's are 'legal', they're much too efficient for the DOT :-). I've seen posts from people who have converted awhile ago (that I can no longer find) noting the difference in the connector. I tried to check this on the parts fiches: the euro fiche for 83-86 calls out an H4, the us version just calls for a 'sealed beam' and the US 87-91 fiche doesn't specify the bulb as H4 or H5.
Are you sure your bulbs are H4's and not H5's? You can tell if you shine on a garage door a few feet away...the H5's put out a 'blob' of light, the H4's have a distinct cutoff line that goes up and to the right.
I hope your's are H4..they're much better.
