salsheikh Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Guys, finally got my finger outta my bottom (snigger) and decided to do the 2nd reverse light mod after reading Lennys awesome guide. I did do it slightly differently (used a glue gun to bond the second light fitting onto the lense - i hope it will hold!) I thought I had purchased the right connector off eBay for the additional buulb, wired it all up but it doesnt work. i'm guessing that its the connector that could be the issue - i tried to see if the plug is getting power and it is so maybe the fitment isnt right and it isnt connecting to the 2 pins? so, is there a possibility that i can order the correct plug from ford??? If someone can get me the part number than this would be awesome. thanks Sal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salsheikh Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 ive done that too. cut off and lugs and then trimmed it down in size too. even tried another bulb but no joy what i may do is fit it all and see if there is current to the bulb holder as i may have the +/- the wrong way around and i'm guessing that this could be the cause. The wiring was put in place many many months ago when i replaced the bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
