New lights on the S4
Posted: Sat Jul 05, 2008 5:02 pm
Not quite as plug and play as was implied to fit, Audi wiring has a rectangular connector, the lights have round ones! So had to work out what wire does what, not too bad really as there's 7 a side. That includes an ignition live which is handy as I’m now running the angel eyes off of that.
Ran out of time to fit my Leon Cupra R front splitter, poss attempt that tomorrow, weather dependant. This was due to a bolt at the back of the headlight inside the wing being very very "captive"! Think it was taking its job too seriously as I had to remove the airbox, wheel and inner arch to eventually hack it out as it was so seized, took about 3 hours alone to do that!
To finish the lights off I'm going to get hold of 2 8 way connector blocks so that the headlights can literally be unplugged if need be, not sure where I’ll find one though, but I’ll keep hunting.
Also think to clean the indicators up siltertec bulbs will be ordered (any recommendations as to where I can get some anyone?)
Anyway, as she looks now:
Not going to be to everyone’s taste I suppose but then what in life is???
Downside is that i've lost the use of the Xenon's but as I own/run a pub i'm working virtually every night so never really use the car when it's dark, so no big deal really.
