Motorised Headlamps-Anyone Running Them??
« on: 02 July 2007, 20:19 »
As the title says really - trying to source the plugs and that to create the loom, and find the exact locatinos to which everyting should be connected, but it's porving tricky as. Some breakers have all the bits, switches, motors etc, but not the switch loom, anyone any idea?  :undecided:

rocking horse sh!t springs to mind.

i tried the dealers and they told me that the loom is no longer available.

motors and switches are but not the loom.

some of the vans from the same years had them too.

it was just g60's too.

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.

Ive heard that they dont come with a loom but come with connectors. Thats the only problem. You can always extend the wires :smiley:

It was always an option on MK2s in the UK, but rarely fitted.  Its not std on G60s either, except in Germany after 90 or 91 fitment of electrically adjustible headlights became mandetory, which is why many G60s/Rallyes etc seem to have them fitted.  This also includes MK1 cabbies, extremly hard to find but it was available!
