Cessna Landing Light Connector

[GaryRudolph]

Anybody know where I can source the receptacle connector for this connector? It's a Cessna landing light connector to the HID ballast. We're trying to make a clean connection for a new LED light rather than cutting wires.

That's a Delphi Metripack 280. https://www.bmotorsports.com/shop/product_info.php/products_id/2223

Here's the mating side with pigtails. https://www.bmotorsports.com/shop/product_info.php/products_id/2201

You can also buy them unassembled for a cleaner install, assuming you have the correct crimper. https://www.bmotorsports.com/shop/product_info.php/products_id/2200

How fancy! My '76 C150 has two blade connectors for my landing/taxi light.

Why would anyone replace an HID system with LED? Can I have the HID when you're done?

Perfect, couldn't find it in any parts manuals.

I want to try the Sunspot 36 45s. I flew an aircraft on the field with LEDs and it had better light output than my HIDs.

The parts numbers are in the Cessna wiring diagrams. This is typical of most of Cessna's electrical stuff. You need the service manual for such parts.
