    Hi. I have a 2013 Tiger 800 ABS and am having trouble finding a replacement H3 bulb for my fog light that has the correct size male spade connector. All that I have seen are 1/4" wide, however, the original bulb's spade is only 1/8" wide. My dealership was no help as they could only spec the entire fog light assembly. Not sure where to turn...

    Thanks! I'm hoping to avoid splicing, but it looks like that's the way I'll have to go. Appreciate the link.

    The issue with that is you have to modify the bulb each time you replace it. If you modify the loom then rack nce bulb firs straight in.
    The other alternative is to add an adaptor our file the connector to size.

    Agree,short 1/4 to 1/8 male to female connector is best

    Simplest way is to cut the wire with the existing connector off the old bulb and crimp a spade connector of the right size on the other end. If you do it close enough, the silicon sleeve should be long enough to cover both and prevent shorting.
