Connector question

See the picture below...
My 2003 Roush fog lights have connector A (picture below) and the Ford wiring harness has connector B. Obviously I need to make adapter cable or change either A or B.
Based on the connector catalog sticky link, I assume connector B is H10 (female) (WPT-122 (Tin)
1U2Z-14S411-YA), but what is connector A (I could not find a direct match)?

Where does the connector on the fog lamp go to ?
- Should be a bulb, but I don't know what the back of the fog lamp looks like.

It will go to the fog light bulb.
Edit: the bulb is GE 896.

Connector A

Do you have a better piture of the Roush Socket? This one looks like it would match.

Taurus............................................ 1995-93

I take it that Roush is a Mustang? You could cut the wire out of a junker of a 2003 Roush mustang or a 93-95 Taurus. This pigtail looks like it would mate with Connector A.

Can you de-pin Connector B. We can make something that could work. You might not find something that matches the connector. It is however possible that the connecotr CONTACTS are in the same family of connector that you can obtain both the connector housings.

Connector B

Connector B looks like it's a GM weather Pak connector. Ford has been know to use GM connectors.

I have an after market pigtail for a 9005 Bulb. I think it might be another trade name for GE 896.

Ill de-pin it and take some pics for you.

Alternativly

If you look at the back of your Roush fog lamps, do they look like the white connector in this pic.?

sorry missed the edit 10 days ago ( did not come back to the top ).

connector B you know that bulb connector from the owners manual.
- The 9006 bulb socket.

The 896 bulb is one of those oddball bulbs, so the quickest route is to find a 9006 / HB4 female plug and adapt the end of the pigtail on the fog lamp to the 26 W / 896 bulb.
- I did not have much luck finding a 869 bulb connector.


Could be the same as a H11 bulb ?
- Hard to tell from a picture


That is a big swag, no way to tell until you try to plug the H11 socket to a 869 bulb. The key looks longer on the H11 connector.

Thesavo: I don't think that WPT-365 does work. The Roush fog lamps are like the ones in your pic.

SSCULLY: thanks for the info!

@piggington, it’s often funny how we find ourselves in situations like this. Anyways, in the picture, Roush fog lights as you have shown have a female connector which is not the standard one. These fog lights originally have a male connector. In my opinion both the connectors shown in the picture can have a similar male connector fit in. This might've been some flaw at the assembling end of the company the delivered you these fog lights. Anyways, instead of wasting time and asking the company I think you chose the right option. Also, you can always just solder the two joints if there's any issue.
