Detailed Description

Handy Pack HP4690 is a replacement parking light bulb socket assembly designed for vehicles that use a 3-wire, female connector layout. The pigtail design allows the damaged socket to be cut out and the color-coded leads to be joined into the existing wiring harness with common crimping tools. This makes it a straightforward solution for restoring exterior lighting function where the original connection has failed.
