It looked like a cheap ebay one and was on when I bought the car. I repaired it where it had rubbed on the top of the fan, and had to re crimp new spades on too. In the end I just thought bugger it and ripped it out. Put the Nightbreakers on and couldn't tell the difference from before with the loom.  :smiley:

I rewired mine yesterday, was getting 10.1v at the bulbs so thought I may as well as It was all free.
 I had a few 12v relays knocking around, a fully insulated fuse holder and the neccessary wiring.
