Bosch makes a 'quick glow kit'. It comes with the large glow plugs with pin
type heater elements, wiring, and a relay. It was either FGK1 or FGK2
[FGK
means Fast Glow Kit]. I am not sure if it still available. This place
shows
it under the 10 digit Bosch number and you need to order the 5th glow
plug.
Not sure about this......

and it sends you to
this 5th glow plug: 0 250 201 039
This is the part number of the large type pin glow plug:

This place sells the kit for less than $20 and you need to get the 5th
glow
plug: 0 250 201 044

Do they interchange and you just eliminate the series wiring, or are
there other components necessary to convert?
