Cheers for the info fellas,I can only find the 3 hole plugs in the loom,they're light grey and have a rubber cover,if I get an uprated loom is it easy to fit yourself or is it a job for an auto electrician?

a good one is plug n playe, you hook up the + & - to the battery terminals, pop a trigger wire into the tip & main beam pins of the car plugs and then plug the loom into your lights.

I've solved the problem by buying an uprated loom so I should be able to see more than 4inches in front of me  :grin:
