Single Head Lamp Conversion
« on: 29 June 2005, 12:37 »
Quick question, which may be a silly one!

If I buy a single headlamp grille, how do I get the main beam lights to work as part of the larger outer lamps?

How does the wiring and bulbs work?

Ta.

Maybe a silly question coz, I havn't looked at the actual car in detail !

... it's turned into a fashion show for poofters.

there is already the wire for full beam incorporated into the single wiring loom. The spots are just a add on. Easy swap.  :smiley:

The large lamps already have and do main beam. All you will have to do is unplug and remove the small ones and replace the grill.

You lost me mate. How would spot lamps be incorporated into a single headlamp grill? Surely the idea of a single grill is to have a single set of lights?

I am presuming he has a twin light grill on atm. In which case the spots are mounted to the grill so they will pop out when he removes said twin light grill.

Then just stick in the single light grill. Job done.
