300 to 200 rear lights

(1/2) > >>

Mark2Disco:
can anyone tell me the easy way to change my rear lamp unit from 300 to 200 with indicator and side light doubled up from bumper lights
thanks

hobbit:
I did this the other way round, the plug fitment in the light units were the same just had to rewire the back of the plug itself, try tracing where the wiring goes outside to the bumper and re direct it back to the main light unit, it must come off the main loom somewhere down the back end

All you have to do then is test the wiring and figure out which connection is which

ChrisW:
If you unplug the lamps out of the bumper lights you can identify the cable colours needed which you should then be able to find in the main loom that runs down each rear quarter.

hobbit:
Why not use the reds on the bumper as rear fogs, you can then use the fogs on the new lights as a extra pair of side lights, or brake lights, depending on which bulbs you use

Wasn't the point of changing the lights something about them not being visible with the back door open, hence the rear lamp and indicators were moved to the bumper which are the ones you would use when stationary (with the back door open) - something to do with new rules.

If you change the bumper lights to fogs, would this fail it's MOT on some sort of type approval regulation?

Tim.

P.S. just bought off eblag some 200 lights to do this conversion myself - wish me luck!
