300-200tdi lights. won some clusters now :-)

<< < (2/3) > >>

hobbit:
I would imagine the bumper lights are fed from the main loom which is down the o/s/r corner

So a case of tapping into the correct feed down for the indicator and fog (if you are moving them as well)

I'm going to move all mine as if I wire in 2 more indicators it's going to make the trailer light on the dash flash when Im not towing anything. I have enough lights flashing as it is!!!

--- Quote from: "muddyjames" ---Well. I have just won 2 light clusters off ebay for £20 inc postage etc. Just got to wait for them to arrive now!!

Is there anything I should know about when I come to wire the 200 ones in? Are all the connections the same etc etc? is it as simple as take old cluster out, pull wires off lights in bumper, feed them up to cluster hole, plug them all in, screw new cluster on and black tape over old light lenses in bumper?

I seriously hope so!!!

No, but it almost as simple. I've just fitted 200 lights to my 300 as i've binned the bumper. You need to wire the positive brake and indicator wires (from the bumper) into the existing white block conector. The earth wires can be traced back to where they are spliced into the loom and cut as the 200 clusters are earthed.
I used standard female blade conectors (blue i think) and squeezed them sligtly so that they would slot into the existing white block connector. (The white block connector opens at the side so you can fit the conectors in the vacant slots) I'm sure you could get the propper female blade conectors but i just used what i had lying about.
Hope this makes sense. G

muddyjames:
