i'd be interested to see the difference as i brought a loom ages ago from ebay but havent had the guts to fit it.....lol........are the looms you make Guy 2 or 3 relay jobbies..???

The looms are four relayed ones, just so there is no confusion.
Plus every bulb gets its own fuse, this all equals less hassle.

Its a little more hassle to fit them but its defo worth the extra work.
They are all over engineered and made to fit each car so if you have a 20v or vr then it fits in around that.
I have powered them straight off the back of the alternator before just to keep the wiring hidden better.

It also means if you want to fit some 80/90w bulbs this is the best time to do it as the extra power available at the light makes a huge difference.

I kept meaning to follow up on this, I take it that the conversion worked well !

Martin,
if you want it done, no issue, just set a day and I'll do it for you, I do need to buy some more crimp terminals but we're good to go anytime.

i do have some OEM connectors i'd like to use, does this help..??

Subject: Re: help dim headlights on mk2? Mon Apr 12 2010, 08:57

Yes/No I got some of those and I could always reuse the ones I cut off anyways.

I've fuses and realys I just need the covered spade crimp terminals and some rings but I'll get em from partco in boxes of 50.
I solder the oem light plugs so we can reuse the old ones easy enough.
