I cant find it Surely your joking apparently JDM' have different connectors, nothing to worry about I'm sure That is true. IIRC it is simply a case of removing the connectors from the new and the old lights and rewiring the old connector to the new cable. At least, I can't see why you can't use that approach - once you've sussed +,-, switch etc If you're unsure, any electrical bod would do it in about 15 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest prescience Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Tim, I know YOU can manage No, definitely different JDM connector - Giles imported his LEDs from japan (or picked them up when he was out there), it was him that put the fitting instructions with pics up on the old site and it did involve cutting and there was a spare wire on new or old, I can't recall exactly - some minor issue anyway. PM him, I'm sure he'll help in the spirit of good for all owners and all that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same process as the UK Z's. I wonder if they have changed the plug on the lights compared to what has been bought from Japan in the past or dod Giles go OTT and not spot the subtle difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
