finmac Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 In the process of changing my headlight/indicator stays (for non rusty ones!). So obviously the headlights and indicators need to come off. Headlight seems obvious enough - disconect all wires pull thro - unscrew headlight, reattach same on new stay and rewire. Indicators also need to be disconnected to pull wires thro - therein lies the problem there does not seem to be any plug or the like to disconnect them *confused* Help please!!

Lawrence_Z Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 I think I remember them pulling thru' the other way the harnesses do vary...what year is your car? Lawrence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finmac Posted February 22, 2003 Author Share Posted February 22, 2003 Hi Lawrence Car is a '96. Had a look at pulling them thro "the other way" but they are hard wired into the loom and there do not appear to be any plugs etc. Given that they were obviously fitted in the first place there must be a way of getting them off again?! cheers Fin THE ONLY SE7EN IN THE HEBRIDES!

Lawrence_Z Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 My car was a bit older and originally came designed with cables outside the bracket... I drilled the tube, cut the ends off and soldered them back on after fitting the lamps... I think I would just cut the wires at staggered points on the loom..... refit and solder back together and shrink wrap Drop by and I'll do it for you...

finmac Posted February 24, 2003 Author Share Posted February 24, 2003 Lawrence Thanks for advice, went rummaging around the loom last night and lo and behold found some connectors (quite far back and well covered in inulating tape) - so the jobs a doddle now. Used to live in Edinburgh, so "pop round" would have been easy - bit further now! Out of interest do you ever take your 7 onto Knockhill? cheers Fin 😬 THE ONLY SE7EN IN THE HEBRIDES!

finmac Posted February 26, 2003 Author Share Posted February 26, 2003 Lawrence Cant make 8th, what other dates do you have for later in the year (in some ways week days are better if any are planned)? Is it a 7 only session or mixed? How many cars and whats the usual cost? many thanks Finlay THE ONLY SE7EN IN THE HEBRIDES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
