supRo Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I've just got hold of my new UK headlights thanks to Adam (Spyda). Not sure what the grey connector block is for..My jap headlight doesn't have it! Is it to adjust beam height?? Also I was under the impression that I will need new low beam bulbs...all my jap bulbs fit apart from the high beam which will need a little trimming.

Jake Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Yep, adjusters. You can make them work too : http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/euro_glass_headlight/install/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev.O Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I'm sure the UK headlights use 9005 and 9006 bulbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 ugh. does this mean that if I fit facelift headlights I will loose my beam-height control? I've already lost rear foglights.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Yeah I believe so. Can't you do a rear fog mod carl0s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I prefer the twin brake-lights bugger about the headlight beams... wonder if it's worth worrying about? I do think facelift lights look a hell of a lot better than pre-facelift, and I don't see what's so special about extra-heavy glass lights. Porsches have plastic lights, and if they're brand new then they're sure to look pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I must admit I've never used the headlight adjusters, still it's nice to have the option I suppose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I prefer the twin brake-lights You can have twin brake lights and fogs wired into them aswell, it only takes a few diodes, you do lose the twins when the fogs are switched on, but lets face it, how often do you need to put the fogs on, I think I've had to use them a maximum of 3 times since doing the mod. IMO it looks better than an add on fog light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got any schematics? They were posted on here some time ago, thats how I found them, I'll see if I can find them again. Try this....... http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=19436&highlight=diode+fog+light+mod The thread starts to debate whether diodes are better/worse than the relay mod, all I can say is I've been running mine off the diode mod for some time now with no ill effects and I think its a much neater install.
