DRL rear connector question?

[robinpinkney]

does anybody know what connector would mate up with the connector on the back of the DRL(daytime running light) in the photo ?
it doesn't seem to be the usual canbus type male or female connector?
as my bike didn't come with the DRL fitted and i want to power it off the canbus to come on with the ignition (and not with the bmw switchgear kit etc)
thanks anybody

Need a better pic gaffer, but it looks a bit like a Durite superseal.

This link takes you to the rainbow website with all the spare connectors that can be bought from BMW for your bike, Looks like plug seven in the second group...hope this helps, Ray

If you are thinking about plugging something into it, then you'll maybe (depending on what it is you are planning on doing) need to be careful how you attach the wires to the pins / female receptors.

This might give you an idea:

They are not the same as you are looking at but the pins / receptors are maybe similar.

I'm after the female version of the connector in the photo of the bmw DRL ( the one that must come with BMW upgraded 1200gs with DRL i suppose?

I hope you bought that legitimately, and that your user name isn't a play on words?

Bought it off a ukgser on this site recently and i've been to my local BMW dealer with it as well so there
P.S Its for my wifes factory lowered 1200gs T.E and it didn't come with the DRL( just the hole where it goes)
