Branners Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 I now have a set of import spec rear clusters to replace my UK spec ones, I doubt if anybody has done it before but does anybody know if they are a simple 'unplug the old ones plug in the new ones' type modification or am I looking at some rewiring?

Jake Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Apparently the plugs on the both UK and JSpec rear lights are the same apart from the pin for the foglight. You can lose that pin easily enough if the JSpec light's plug doesn't have the hole for the pin to go into. ps: STILL haven't had those bank details from you for that Sony remote !

LeeT Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 you need to do a small bit of wiring as reverse light is in wrong place and thats definite as i had a jspec light on my uk for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 I think Kevin Huntley has put JDM (maybe 98on ?) lights on his UK'er in the past. I seem to remember that he switches them out for MOT ?? could be wrong. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wipeout Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 I recently done this mod and all you have to do is separate the fog light and reverse light from the loom, look at the pattern of the lugs on the light and using a craft knife, make one of the lug holes in the light a bit bigger and that's it. Stick the fog in the red one and the reverse in the white one. Done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 I put facelift lights in mine the other week John, 15 mins job. They use the same plug I'll post up some pics later of mine, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Originally posted by leett you need to do a small bit of wiring as reverse light is in wrong place and thats definite as i had a jspec light on my uk for a while I'm a bit confused by this. When I put UK tails on my J-spec I checked out all the pin outs and they were identical except for a vacant location in each plug where the rear fog lamp should be. Surely it should work in reverse so JDM tails should just plug straight into the UK loom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 I just unplugged mine and plugged in the new ones, they work perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Plug and play except for the fog light. I didn't bother with my fogs as they only get used for MOT time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraRuss Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 whats the difference between the two then? Off topic: Ibrar you car is gorgeous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Originally posted by Paul Laing I just unplugged mine and plugged in the new ones, they work perfect turn your foglights on and see what lights up as when i had them on mine the clear lens lit up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Got some facelift rear light clusters off Gaz Now, about the fog light mod, I guess the info and wiring diagrams on this mod (TRL one) relates to a Jap spec, adding the relays etc to give a set of fogs in the rear cluster rather than seperate? What about us UK lot, surely it's just a case of sorting the wires out as the switch and relay are already there? I'd like to sort this really as I don't want to hang on to my old lights just for MOT time. Cheers, Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
