Will let you know on Sunday (or Saturday late evening) if that is ok with you. I use UPS or Citylink courier, so the postage will be a flat £7 for up to 30 kilos

hi gatos...

not only do I need the headlight loom (which you know about) but I also need the lom that plugs into the indicators. My black indicators wont plug into my existing P1 loom aaarghhh...

Cant you use your old bulb holders in the black indicators?

you'd think so, wouldn't you... but no, they are a different size too.

Wait a minute jasedarace.......... Do you have a Phase 1 car and want to convert the lights to a phase 2? If yes then now it all makes sense. Phase 2 cars have 4-pin connectors for the headlight unit where as all Phase 1s have 4-pin

I checked 4 Phase 2 cars including S40s and V40s, ranging from early 2001, 2002 and 2003 and all of them have 4-pin connectors. In that case you need both of my connectors.

The only other thing I suspect is that the headlights you have are the twin headlights from a Phase 1 T4, in which case, I am unsure if they are 4 or 5 pin connectors. If that is the case, then you need the loom from someone who is breaking a Phase 1 car....

If however you are converting all your lights from P1 to P2, then you will have to alter the loom and make it from 5 to 4 pin connector. Also, I am not 100% sure, but I think that the side frnt panels may differ slightly from the P2 ones where the indicators lights fit. DOn't quote me for this, but that's my impression. Hopefully someone else can confirm this

Undertray is there and in one piece. A couple of scuffs here and there but nothing major.

N/S front wheel arch also there and in one piece

Steering rack also ready and in one piece

Sorry, I'm learning on the fly, here. I'm a bit more knowlegeable on the 7xx series :-)

Its a P1 with single headlights. I have picked up some black bezel lights from a P1 t4 (I think). They were pacman's. He offered me the 5 pin and 4 pin. the 5 pins were fitted so I left it as is. I should have gone for the 4 pin, shouldn't I ;-)

However If I have the 4 pin plug that goes into the headlight (and the bulb holders that go into the cones) then that could work too... but I still need the wiring loom too. Bit more hassle as I'll have to remove the lights but I'm gonna have to do that anyway ;-)

They look like they will fit but I need to drill a hole - thats no big deal. I was kinda stumped when the two pin connector /and/ the bulb holders were different to the P1 car !

The easiest thing to change is the loom so that I can plug the indicators in :-)

The car is currently wearing T4 black bezels and the old style indicators. Still, no rush, I'll find what I'll need eventually...

Hi Alex

Do you have ambient temperature sensor?

I am really easy going about this. If you can't find a 5-pin connector from a Phase 1 car, then I can cut the looms for the headlights and the loom for the indicators and you can have them for nothing.
