Hi All,


Many thanks for everyone's replies.  Sounds like everyone is on the same page as I am.  Neil posted a link to a very nice photo of a spade connector:

I think VW recognized the high current requirements of the headlight connector (even if they didn't do such a good job on the switch itself!) because the connector looks fancier than your typical spade connector.  Here are some photos of the front and back:

It looks like it's silver plated to keep the resistance down but it doesn't look like your typical spade connector.  I'll poke in there some more but if I get no action I might just cut the plastic housing apart.  Sigh.


Thanks all!
