sonny Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hi there, I have bought some facelift rear L.E.D's for my 2004 Zed, does anyone have a step by step guide of how i fit these, I have bought them from Holdcroft, they have told me that i need to trim the 3 the lugs in the loom, im not too sure how to do this,im a bit of a novice when it comes to doing these things, any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Its sooooooooooooooooo easy even I managed to do it. Take the current ones out, they are connected via male/female connector. The new lights won't fit directly. They will have two 'grooves' on either side of the connector that need to be 'shaved' off with a stanley knife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now your askin In total Sarnie technical terminolgy: The new lights will have a connector, which connects to the equivalent connector once the old lights are removed. When you try to fit the new ones, you won't be able to due to two plastic grooves that stick out on the sides of the new lights connectors. These need to be shaved off. All will become evident once you try to fit them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
