gazhull8474 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hi was wondering if anyone can recommend a garage in the Poole/Bournemouth area that will be able to change my headlights over as i have a jap import 54 plate and need to put european headlights on it which i have already there may be a bot of wiring that needs done or is there anyone on here that would be able to do it for a good reasonable price Cheers Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee22 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Are the connectors different then? If not, it's a pretty easy job. Just drop the front bumper and undo a couple of bolts. About 45 - 60 mins work. There's a guide about somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Whats wrong with Jap headlights mate? They're perfectly fine in this country... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 The wires can be in different places different due to the auto adjust balast and other things. I think I still have some pics of mine where the wires were swapped over to fit, but mine were US ones so not sure if they were the same. Connectors are pretty easy to take apart and swap over on the headlight side. you just needs to know what goes where! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be able to get them booked in this Saturday just waiting to hear back from them. Then i will be selling my UK spec lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
