Adding DRLs. Connector Pin P/N.

I am adding DRLs to my A2.
There's a spare pin, on the main light switch, for DRLs, which is not present on UK cars.
So, I need to add a socket pin to the connector on the end of the loom. I'm struggling to find a part number for the crimp pin. The number I have is 000 979 151, but searches bring up the pin, with wire attached. Can anyone help with the number for just the pin please?

I looked at connector pins some time ago and it is a wierd and wonderful world, quite deep in spec with its own vocabulary - expect timers(????) and tabs!

Apparently the timers and tabs used by Audi were made by Tyco(formely Amp), not me being knowledgeable but lifted from this useful background article.


I am not clear what you need, maybe a picture, but this eBay shop may help, there are dozens of different types, just go back a page from the link.


Guessing more like this.


I have a few other bookmarks but best not to go on until I am clear exactly what you need.

Hope it's some use.

2.8mm standard crimp spade worked for me.
Thanks @bretti_kivi
That's for the connector that plugs into the back of the light switch?
Will it fit the connector shell?

Apologies for inferring last night your first post was not clear, read it again this morning with a clearer head and it is clear and the last picture makes it crystal clear.

I think you will find it difficult to buy just one!, just not worth any seller doing so.

First thought this morning is buy the connector with loose pins (no tails), expensive way of doing things. I can only see one eBay seller in Poland!. What a waste to extract one timer (posh vocabulary!).


I would gamble Bret is correct, 2.8mm timer, I have come across a few of them, seem quite common on our A2's.
Maybe these...


Out of interest I read, but never pursued, you can buy a special hand crimping tool that has curved bits on the jaw to curl the crimp tongues round the wire just as good as factory!, seeing is believing though.

Maybe a local audio electrician? Somebody on here must have one.
