Which headlights to go for?

Thanks, first and only in Australia :lol:

Any retro fittings are subject to faults. What I would advise is, if you decided to retro fit any sockets to the Taiwan headlights is to apply silicon seals on it. I didn't put any on mine, and it no water has leaked in despite driving the car in the rain for one whole week now (yes for the first time ever in history, such crazy weather in my state).

maybe deffy can help...where is he when he is needed...

Erm...did I hear someone use my name in vain?...

Actually, I have no idea how many wires go to my signal lamp. However, in the past, whenever I have been faced with this situation, and cannot find a fitting plug, I simply change both sides of the connector - both the male and female. A trip to the local scrap yard will yield miles of discarded tangles of wire harnesses with a variety of connectors attached. You simply need to find an appropriate one.

For lights, if it is 2 wire (common), then that's simple. If it is 3 wired, then it is likely that it is a looped circuit...i.e. the positive probably connects to some other light or is intended to loop to some other signal light that may not be present in your car. Trace the original wiring through that connector and make sure that the wires match up...and it will work without problems...and with a brand new connector that will not leak...
