mk3 headlight wiring problem
« on: 07 October 2010, 22:48 »
just bought a mk3 16v and a previous owner seems to have chopped the main loom where it plugs into the headlight loom/ 4 pin connector, any ideas or pics of which wire goes onto which spade, a wiring diagram would be good or a pic of the wiring, cheers

Is it the wide plugs or the slightly sqaure ones?

I'll get a picture in a sec. I'd imagine they were trying to fit earlier or later lights and wanted to change the loom.

Where all my moneys went.
