linconhawk Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hi All, Well, my supras been in storage for about 4 years and now im back... Back in about 2012 I bought some UK spec headlights from someone on here... I can kinda remember people saying back then I would need to so something with the wiring as I have a import... anyway, today I started, I have taken one of the lights out and now im stuck... ha ha. Ive taken some pics, on the new light there is a wiring connector block, there isn't on the old light... ? connected to my car is a bulb with a blue wire which I cant make out how it comes off.. Please help... I looked in the FAQ and guides but couldn't find anything.... I need a "easy" and "simple" procedure... as im a bit of a novice... Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linconhawk Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Ok, update... The bulb with the blue wire, just realised, the wire is part of the bulb... that makes sense now... BUT - on my new uk light there is a huge wire connector (in pics) I presume I just ignore this and it doesn't connect... ??? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The huge plug is for the self leveling motors. This will only work on a UK car with the plug available, you can ignore that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonc Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Simply plug and play for the wiring. The level motors wont work on a Jspec (unless you run some of your own wiring). If your car is a facelift you wont need the side light inside the headlamp unit either. UK lights also need UK bulbs as the lugs are slightly different or just get a file out and file your lugs.

linconhawk Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Brilliant, thanks for the info guys.... A few other things..... Supplied with my new lights were bulbs, I have 2 x 9005 and 2 x 9006... I presume these are the uk bulbs to go in the new lights.... again, presume the other bulbs remain the same and are a straight swap... There is the one with the blue wire.... Remains the same ? There is another one in a long holder, remains the same ? cant remember what else there was.... too dark to look now.... May sound silly, but what buld i.e 9005 / 9006 goes in what hole on the actual light ??? One last thing, the 2 little nuts that hold the side of the light in, anyone know what size nut I need ?? my lights were only held in with one, so I need to buy some in the morning... Thanks so much !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
