Google Automotive wiring connectors, there are a few specialist companies.
I've not been able to find any.. and I'm still looking.
The regular "T20 bulb holders" you find advertised are generic and too big for the Fiat lamp (see the photo) even if the connector would fit into the DRL reflector, which they don't.. The Fiat T20 holder seems to be a unique shape.
If anyone finds one that fits, post the link..

Might have to buy a complete replacement DRL unit either 2nd hand fiat, or a new pattern one!

Thank you for your recommendation, they have an array of fittings, but unfortunately I couldn’t find the one I need
Do you think they'd honour their 1 year warranty on these, given how many of mine failed within 1 min to 30 days?

I bought Argo. The blue glass is quite cool and makes the lights look more white.
However, one of them failed after around a month. The replacements have been fine for about 6 or 7 months.. but recently they started giving a "Check DRL" warning with the lights on, even though all the bulbs are working as designed.. so I suspect they're not running at a stable voltage.

Did you get anywhere with this connector? having the same issue with my daughters car. Been quoted £60 from a breaker for the cable, seems excessive! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For £45 you can get a complete new pattern DRL lamp online! I FITTED one to my car two months ago to try to solve a constant blowing bulb issue! its been fine since, and of course has brand new wires! these fray and corrode in the originals which causes voltage fluctuations and blows the blubs thats the route id suggest you take!.
No... I've come to the conclusion that the only way to get a bulb-holder is to buy a whole new lamp. I bought one recently for the neighbour (friend of the missus) who had no wheel arch liner and no cap on the back of the lamp.. so it had filled with water and was ruined... that was made by Depo and looks good quality. I think it was £42-45.

This is them...
I guess if your DRL lamps are otherwise in good nick, it's just about worth it to buy a new bulb holder..
If the lamps look tired, it's probably better value to get a whole new Depo lamp (c. ~£50)
