Fog Light Bulbs have different connectors

[spddm0n]

I just picked up a replacement H3 fog light bulb for my '01 and I noticed two things...


1 - When I was removing the old one, there was some black electrical tape on the wiring. It didn't look like there was anything "modified" at the time so I didn't think about it too much. When I pulled the tape of to remove the old bulb, revealed was a round male connector pictured below.





2 - The new fog light bulb has a flat male connector on the end of it as pictured below.



I'm wondering if the previous owner cut off and installed a different connector on the wiring harness to use these bulbs.


Do the OEM bulbs use a flat connector like the ones in the package? Or the round ones like the ones I have on the vehicle now?


Thanks.

My 2000 had the round connector. I bougjt flat connector bulbs and ended up soldering flat connectors to the truck harness because I had opened both packs already. Most auto parts stores sell h3 bulbs with both style connectors, you just have to look through them sometimes.

You can also get round to spade adapters at any reputable electrical shop.

I cut the harness on the truck and put female spades so I can use the spade style.
