Headlight switch and loom fires.....DIY prevention

Recommended Posts

Question or two! is this mod required for all corrados whether early or later models? also does upgrading the headlight loom (which i intend to do) relieve the pressure so to speak on the switch wires or does that not matter? my apologies for what may sound like a stupid question or two but im pretty clueless with regards to this stuff so any answers from you informitave folk on here may put my mind at rest. many thanks

Never knew about this! :clap:

 

Dunno if it's in this thread.. Also the glovebox and boot light can be modded. put some heat shrink over the negative arm to stop it shorting.

Was all ready to do this mod today as most of the dash is out, was initially a little confused when the brown wire was mentioned. Had a good look and it seems a previous owner has removed it, so first thing id to earth the switch then fuse it, so does anyone know where to get the loom connectors from??
