8E0971841D Volkswagen FOAM INSER

This foam insert basically fills empty space inside an electrical connector or housing. It’s designed to cushion and protect the wires and terminals inside, keeping them from moving around and getting damaged. It also helps keep moisture and dust out. Sometimes it acts like a shield, preventing chafing and corrosion where wires touch metal. They come in various shapes and sizes, depending on where they go in your vehicle's system. It’s most often found inside headlight connectors, tail light connectors, or anywhere you have a multi – pin electrical connection. It's part of the overall electrical system, making sure signals get where they need to go reliably. It's not something that makes the lights work, but it supports the connections that do. You’ll notice if one is missing or really deteriorated because intermittent electrical issues start to pop up – lights flickering, or not working consistently. Without it, those wires and terminals are banging around, and that can lead to broken connections. Constant vibration and movement wears things down. A damaged connector can cause all sorts of problems, from a simple burned – out bulb to more serious electrical faults. Replacing a foam insert is a lot cheaper and easier than tracing down a wiring issue caused by a loose connection. If you’re doing a headlight restoration or fixing a taillight, it’s a good idea to replace these while you're in there. We carry a bunch of different sizes at Fixparts Online, so finding the right one for your vehicle shouldn't be too difficult.
