W203 spotlight wiring

[Nostradmus]

Good day all.

Firstly, thanx for having me. Im all the way from South Africa. My current vehicle, is a 2001 W203 C180 with the M111.951.

Im hoping someone can assist me. Google doesnt seem to give any info regarding my blunder. So a few days ago, my left side spotlight bulb blew. Loosened all panels etc and unplugged the cable from the housing. By this time the Mrs called, and I left the job. About a hour later, I needed to go somewhere, and totally forgot about the cable hanging loose. I started, and as I pulled away, I heard a loud knack sound, only to discover the cable somehow got trapped under the front wheel, and the ripped out from the loom.

My problem, which I have been trying to sought for days now is, where in heavens name does the passenger side spotlight cable, fit into the loom? I see a thickish main loom, unravelled the tape, but it doesnt look as if it belongs there. I just need to know where it got ripped out from.

I would sincerely appreciate any help from the members here.

Thanx in advance

Blessed Easter to all celebrating it.

Haynes have a WS manual, UK version covers 4 cylinder and American 6 cylinder versions.
Could be of some help.

The most practical thing I can suggest is , if you can find another W203 , either in a scrapyard , or if the owner would be kind enough to let you look ( maybe a car on a used car lot ? ) then follow the wiring on this other car to see where it goes ?

What I was hoping to get here. But...Im sorted. I managed to find the green wire, on the front loom leading across to the driver side. It actually stems from the larger loom on the passenger side, and thins out running underneath the radiator. The green wire is right there where the earths branch out of that loom to the chassis. The brown wire for the spots is neg, so tapped into the larger earth wire, soldered and covered nicely with electrical tape. Thanx for the info though, much appreciated.
