Phase 2 headlights into a Phase 1

migrator · May 4th, 2012, 17:33

Have purchased a pair of V40 Phase 2 headlights off the Bay but they are to go in a Phase 1 model. Yes, we knew they were from a Phase 2.

There is a vertical four pin connector at the back of the light unit and if anyone can advise what each pin is for it would be a great help with setting up the wiring changes.

Get hold of Andy (Thanatoes) as he has a wiring diagram showing whats needed to swap the lights as I recall - Mike

Ian here it is you won't have any flash function and to get this to work you need to link wires 4 and 5 if my memory server me right

When done it will light up the dipped beam and full beam together otherwise when you put full on it will turn dipped off

Thanks, Andy. I have passed the diagram on to 360dood and he will work on things from there. He wants to get to a local (big) breakers to have a look at some of the cars and possibly get some wiring parts.

JSeaman has acknowledged the problem with his photos... he thinks he may of "taken too much space" on Photobucket and he's trying his best to sort it

There is a limit of 10Gb of bandwidth per month on PB. That is why I compress my photos at 75% JPEG and 1200x800 dimentions.
