Daveyslocker Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Hi. Struggling to Rewire a n/s headlight. Socket on original was ‘fried’ somehow. Replaced headlight and socket with partial loom. reconnected 9 wires by colour - now left with x3 (negative?) wires. Connecting these together seems to cause all sorts of problems. Any suggestions of what happens to these x3 thicker wires greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance electrical geniuses. Daveo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unofix Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Perhaps if you posted a few pictures of the wires, harness and type of headlight you have then we would be able to offer some advice. What colour are these 3 wires you have 'left over' ? The harness must not be the same as the original (otherwise you wouldn't have the extra wires) so it may not be a straight swap.

Daveyslocker Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 Had another go at connecting everything - now the position light ‘flickers’ and the indicator is permanently on - front and back!! Is it possible to replace the whole headlight loom does anyone know? (I guess anything is possible for a price?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frembrit Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 You'd have to replace the whole engine bay loom I suspect. Diagram here Is the new headlamp exactly the same as the old one? Is the wiring inside the same? Do they go to the same pins in the multiplug? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, yes and yes sadly. : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
