Motorised Headlamps-Anyone Running Them??

[Mr Blue]

that red mk2 by chance?

surely the loom isnt that hard

they are just electric motors with a switch

[rubjonny]

that is true, but some people like to have it completly OEM, me for one

I think that the plug for the motors is usually already there. It certainley was on my old 8 valve and 16 valve. It was part of the headlamp loom. The only part you will have to source or make up is the loom from the fuse box to the switch and where the relay goes.

haveney heard of a relay being needed at all? 

the plug is there, as they are in the bay, even on my 1300, but its jsut finding it, it changed on a chassis break in 1991.. so wether some of the late 90specs had mk3 plugs or what, im not sure.. as john said to me on the oom they fitted to j_s' car, it had a red 2 pin plug the other end, think this is the one ima need to source fro vag rather than the T plug i have already.

i dont understand why the loom isnt available its lsited in etos but i dont udnerstand how you buy a complete loom they only seem to offer the plugs and sh!t to patch one up..

got the motors from germany complete with LHD headlamps for around £15, got the switch, and the rest of the dash switches for 6.. Need the loom now.. its the fact that breakers ahve all the bits but no loom, that annoys me.

was that from ebay.de?
