Critical_Mass 10 Posted November 24, 2008 I bought one from the very same bloke, but it was the SX5. The only problem ive had is water getting into the relays, so there needs to be a better way of protecting it from the water. Here are a couple of diagrams from the forum that i saved for myself. But try the search mate, this has been covered loads of times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted November 25, 2008 Yeah i've heard people on here say they're not very good. But i've not really had much problem with it, and its better then the previous loom i had on :lol: I've wrapped the new relays in plenty of electrical tape. When water got into the relays i found my main beam didnt work, and if i had the dipped beam on and tried the main beam. This turned the headlights off and just left the side lights on. Changing the relays solved this (provided from the buyer i got the loom from) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marf497 0 Posted December 12, 2008 Hi I'm thinking of doing this upgrade as headlights are crap is there a big improvement once done? Is it better to replace the main headlight bulbs as well. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
