Nic Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I presume you have changed from UK glass headlights to facelift headlights? You will need to fit 9005/HB3 bulbs in the low beam instead, there is a rib on the electrical plug you will need to remove so it will fit.

The early model headlights are the same bulb fitment as the facelift headlights, so the bulbs should swap over. What is the problem exactly, the 3 locking tabs not lining up?

Guest philleee Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) Are you looking for this ? http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/merchant/tech/turnsig/tsinstall.htm I bought a new "turn signal harness kit" to the side indicators from MVP for easier installation. By the way..I have the same problem with my "bulb holder" and that they don't fit correclty in the new headlights. Haven't solved that yet due to still bad weather over here in Sweden Edited March 21, 2009 by philleee (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the problem exactly, the 3 locking tabs not lining up? Have the same problem..I've made them to line up by cutting of some material from the tabs but I can't push them "in" enough to be able to twist/lock them in place (..spelling?) from sweden you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did and it seemed to slot in nicely- this is in addition to trimming the tabs etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
