323e30 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2009 look behind glove box, You will see a black wire with yellow stripe. (thicker looking) It has a plug on the end of it and goes to a relay for the neutral switching. All you need to do if unplug the relay (both ends) and plug the yellow black wire into the other yellow back wire. You should be able to see what I mean once you have removed the glovebox and theres no wires cutting required to do this. however you will need to join wires near the shifter to get your reverse lights going Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not too bad though we got the conversion done in 2 and a bit days between two of us. Max (E30affair) will no doubt have some photos up shortly of his immaculate e30.... JEALOUS. Thanks again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
