Is there a company out there that makes the pigtail for the headlights on a 31 coupe? Or do you have to make them yourself? Trying to solder the contacts on the end of the wire is a bit tricky but if that is the only way I guess I will try it.
Thanks

You will probably have to make them yourself and it is not that difficult. I made a set for my '30 coupe and it only took me about 30 minutes. Good luck! laugh laugh laugh laugh

Big Bob & JYD, Thanks for the info. I will check my YnZ catalog. I soldered the tail light wires and in order to get the little tack on the end I had to strip the wire back. Then I think that I need to put a piece of heatshrink tubing over the bare area. Thats the only way that I could come up with. The originals looked like the wire cover came right to the tact at the end. Is there an easier way?
Thanks
