[Healeys] BN2 80/100 W bulbs on the PL700 tripod headlights....

There appears to be a lot of debate about the value of soldering crimped
connections. Soldering limits corrosion and in theory should provide a lower
resistance connection than well done crimping alone. I guess it depends on
how well the fabricator limits vibration stress at the connection. Your
technique should do the trick.

Hap,
I do often solder the connectors. To minimize fatigue fracture I fix the
first few cm's of the soldered wire to the body/engine etc. to prevent
flexing. This is adequate against fracture
