ZEUS Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Probably easier to buy something like this and then just take a male pin out to use. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-Pin-Kit-Waterproof-Connector-Tyco-AMP-Superseal-Car-Truck-Boat-Electrical-UK-/322018074091?hash=item4af9c5ddeb:m:mwjhRlxr_3iTr9e-bkM5KvA If anyone is local to me I don't mind doing the wiring mod for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodaka Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I love these lights but I feel they suffer from a bit of an issue with the seal. For me, one side had major issues with water leakage, and the other side now has 1 LED in the fog light that's being a bit temperamental. I heard it's quite common for aftermarket lights to have crappy seals, but it was news to me as it's the first set of lights I've ever purchased. I would definitely recommend going over the seal again with silicon or something. Might be obvious to some, but thought I'd chime in as it may help more novice members on here like me Other than that, great product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Cheers fellow Farnhamer Hodaka I shall get some sealant for it before fitting them, it has crossed my mind after I saw the water issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodaka Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Cheers fellow Farnhamer Hodaka I shall get some sealant for it before fitting them, it has crossed my mind after I saw the water issue. No problem And oh, didn't realise you're Farnham-based. Hello! Not a midnight blue 350z by any chance? Just saw one at Sainsburys near Shepherd and Flock.

I have a black car, and back in London late last night bud I bought some Granville Clear Silicone Sealant, it's exactly for this kind of thing too.

Hodaka Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 That's me never going out in the rain in the zed again then! I hope these lights don't become a problem. Well, that pretty much means never taking the zed out again in this country But yeah, although it's a PITA I'd take off the bumper and seal them just to be sure. I have a black car, and back in London late last night bud I bought some Granville Clear Silicone Sealant, it's exactly for this kind of thing too. Ah right, not you then! And yeah, that's the exact thing I plan to use (when I get around to it) except mine is black. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuck Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Price varies with the price of the dollar I'm afraid! I'd maybe advise using sealant around the sealed unit.

RobPhoboS Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I ended up wiring my one the same as ZEUS, although I kind of think I should have done it with the running lights now, ho hum. It wasn't too bad aside from the top white clips that you have to rotate 90deg,and getting it back on required a helper. One light also had the wrong notch sticking out at the end so I had to dremel a bit away from the bumper housing so that it's slotted together. Spent far too long fannying around today, and don't really want to remove the bumper again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Mine are still in their box unfortunately as I ruined my left knee ligaments on Dartmoor 3 weeks ago. I can't kneel or anything at the moment, let alone scrabble around on the floor with tools I toyed with the idea of dipping the lights in a bucket to see if they have leaks in the name of forum science - but quickly changed my mind on that one Construction and quality is pretty good, but agreed a little more sealant around the lens-to-body wouldn't hurt and would be invisible when installed in the bumper. There are a couple of dots on the back of the body which could be smothered a bit more and it would be good to add some around where the loom goes into it's grommet. Plenty of tape and cable tying the sheath is a good plan to keep the loom dry. I assume the (what looks like a) breather port doesn't leak and keeps water out properly Oh yeah - those white plastic 90 degree twist clips can be a pain if there is any hint of separation between the metal stay and bumper shell. Right pita in fact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodaka Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 And don't forget to go over the seals with silicon or whatever to prevent water ingress! Better safe than sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopedmark Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Fitted mine yesterday, I set the running lights up and I set it so the rear fog light comes on the right hand side only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
