So i'm trying to find an electircal connector for a BMW accessory bulb.
the only markings are >PEI< and the number 3
, but i have a picture of it as well as the sizes. its 14mm x 8mm total. I'm stumped as to where to star looking
Does anyone have any clue where to start looking for a connector like this?

The easiest way to obtain a matching connector is to buy it from the parts dept at your Beemer dealer. Many automotive connectors are proprietary & available only from a BMW parts supplier. You can also try partsgeek.com, who will need year, make, model, description, etc.

checked out that page - unfortunately i cant find anything.

with this connector - BMW would only have this conenctor attached to a bulb, and i'm sure that would cost about $20 each..... not what i'm looking for.
 
It looks like you could use two fast-on blade terminals. They are available in 1/8, 3/16, and 1/4 inch sizes.
 
Try a bodyshop that repairs BMW. Every good mechanic/Parts guy scavenges used or new parts off of damaged cars especially wiring/sockets/connectors because for years many makes didn't sell the connectors with wiring in them only the bare connector or socket. Maybe ask the Parts Advisor (nicely) if one of the mechanics has a used one under his bench/junk drawer ( offer to buy lunch/coffee helps)

Call some local junkyards. Then call some more distant junkyards.
