content: Thanks for the Ebay link and hints! I'd really prefer to locate an original part in correct color, but I'm guessing Denso has ordered something custom. At least we have an option as last resort.Would love to find out which supplier the "R"?? "IR"?? logo is...

Be careful to select the correct version and ask for pictures of the front of the connector. Have received the information that for some reason there can be corrosion on a couple pins.

content: I usually just browser Alibaba listings for connectors in the particular industry, like automotive.They often they have lots of pics of all sorts of connectors with part numbers listed for each.Sometimes the part numbers are for the china copy, rather than the official one, but a search of the china part number usually finds the genuine part number easily.
