Title: MK3 Electric headlight adjustment.... Question time!
Post by: eightyeightmph on 25 September 2007, 20:59

Right then, I've got this....

(although it's the one with the front fogs too :wink:)

& these....

So it would be nice to wire them all up, working properly :rolleyes:

The switch is connected up already, there was an existing wire behind the panel which (presumably) runs to the fuse board?!

The QUESTION is, how do I connect the light adjusters to the main loom so it all works?

I guessed it might be to do with adding a connection to the socket in the loom, like the front fogs...

But I'm unsure if the 'uni-loom' in the car runs this far?!

Any help, wiring diagrams or even a loom for sale would be appreciated! :grin:

Cant really help you with the wiring side of things but my car has an extra switch thing that clips on to the main light switch you have pictured (to the left) that controls the uppy/downey headlight gadget.so guess you need the swittch for a start!
