seanl82 23 Posted January 11, 2016 Its the dim dip resistor with the yellow plugs. It needs to be disconnected when fitting an uprated loom. Best thing you can do is try to wrap them up and hide them away so as not to corrode the connections, but doubt you'll be able to incorporate it into the loom you're making Sean. Prices will just start going up and up if you start adding waterproof boxes to fit these into, so its better that prospective buyers do as they see fit with them. I've wrapped mine and hid them up inside the battery blanket so they're not exposed to the elements. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hisnibs 10 Posted January 11, 2016 Yeh, the 2 cored yellow plug that's actually mounted to the fender. Tbh, I've no idea of its function but connected it prevented the lights from working 100%. Mate thought they were ballasts (bugger knows). A male to male blanking connector (if such a thing exists) would be triffic, assuming that is, mine isn't playing silly buggers and you're not supposed to disconnect it.

g0ldf1ng3r 13 Posted January 11, 2016 when the OEM connectors are used it could present a routing issue there are a few tight gaps if you cant get your headlights out & the OEM connectors are quite chunky also, are you planning on water proofing the relays or just the fuses as per the spoonfed link you posted? reason I ask is that most issues happen due to a failed relay, rather than fuse, & normally due to them getting damp etc. however, that said in the 6 years I have had my KUR2Y loom on the VR I have only had 1 failed relay which I simply replaced & all was good again & yes as per seanl82 says an uprated loom needs the yellow dim dip needs to be disconnected & taped up seanrodford - if you are interested & if it would hep you I did an install guide kinda thing when I fitted the valvers a couple of months ago. photos show the routing I took & the mounting of relays etc http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?44751-g0ldf1ng3r-s-VR-amp-1-8-16V-headlight-woe-s/page25 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanrodford 10 Posted January 11, 2016 Ahh perfect thanks dude will check that out I can always send ready to install the offside connector yourselves to aid in routing the loom yes the relays are both waterproof relays and waterproof baces so should have no water or corrosion issues Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SR_Neale 10 Posted January 11, 2016 Not sure what they was thinking putting that screw there I spent about ten mins the other day trying to remove it and it turned out there was no clip so screw was just spinning 2 mins with my trim tool and screw was out.

joebloggsVR69 0 Posted January 11, 2016 I'd be interested in a 3 relay loom too please :) And as mentioned previously, it would be great if the wiring is long enough to run along the slam panel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P3rks 11 Posted January 11, 2016 The issue, like Goldfinger said, if you route the proper way / under the slam panel (That's where I routed my last one). You WILL NOT get the OE plug out and up through the chassis holes in front of the Charcoal canister where they ideally need to be. So you'll have to find an alternate idea or route. Possibly for those wanting to route properly you could leave the OE plug off the loom? It should only be a few wires needing to be plugged in once the cable is routed? If that makes sense?
