westy 614 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) It lives!! Most systems are go. Lights, indicators, brake lights, rear fog light, hazards, wipers, windscreen washer, mirrors, boot release, central locking etc. Elec windows work but the drivers side is backward ha, and they're none to smooth so maybe an update to the later style needed. The heater blows but two of the three flaps dont seem too happy. Probably me stuffing around with it earlier. Aaand the starter motor fires! Quite stoked just quietly. And I only missed one earth! Beer o'clock. Edited January 9, 2010 by westy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westy 614 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 Thanks chaps. One thing I am curious about tho, does anybody have a pic of their rear lights with the tail lights on and the with the brake lights on? Mine look like this.... Tail Brake There's a third bulb on the outside of the light housing I've yet to get working but I'm wondering if having 2 rear bulbs on the one circuit is going to send the light control module into all sorts of panics.

westy 614 Report post Posted January 9, 2010 This is what I did with the rear fog. This is the third bulb. Note; we I am still experimenting with this. You didn't really think I could get it right first time ha. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not quite sure of the reasoning for it though - just complicates a simplistic system. I'm sure it must be a case of "doing it" - because we can Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
