We'd also need to talk to Kurzy about how to handle the sidelights - with one 4-pin control connector you can power both sides off one feed by splitting the sidelight wire into two and running one to each headlight (disadvantage of this is that both will come on in the parking light position on the indicator), or if we use two OEM style receptacles, one with 4 pins and the other with just 1 pin for the sidelight, then you can plug in both of the original connectors and the parking light will work left or right side depending on the indicator stalk position. sadly there is no answer currently on that company phone number, ive emailed to check they are operating. with all due respect fendervg i am not going to complicate this any further with regard to the sidelights. kurzy has kindly agreed to give his time to make a few looms but this does not include a redesign for a function that was never part of the uprated looms. neither kurzy or myself will be making any profit to cover our time spent, of which mine has already increased due to the OE plugs. i hope you understand Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 32 Posted October 1, 2020 Absolutely - I was only really making suggestions, or giving background info, rather than change the design and requirements. Leave it as it is - the OE connectors will be a major plus anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keyo 47 Posted October 1, 2020 I know you can get the plugs because my mate showed me a handful of some the other day that were new. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will PM you his number. They came with all the connectors and grommets male and female. Edited October 1, 2020 by Keyo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keyo 47 Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) I always thought Kurzy was Rayne automotive for some reason- its odd that Rayne sell the connectors but no longer seem to sell the uprated looms ? Edited October 1, 2020 by Keyo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keyo 47 Posted October 1, 2020 If anyone ever needs a plug for the sunroof or recaro loom I know the 996 has the same plug as well because it is obsolete from VW but still available from Porsche and pretty cheap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must have had it about 6 or 7 years now and had no issues what so ever. Only slight issue I could find with it is the cable that runs along the front from drivers side headlight to battery is about an inch or two too short, so makes it a little tight when trying to route it nearly. I mentioned it in feedback to him when I bought it so he may have improved it since then. The connectors do need a little force to 'click' into place, but I'm ok with that as I know they're on nice and tight then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted October 8, 2020 right then! finally got confirmation from the connector place that they have what we need so, i can source us the OE style connectors to plug into the headlights & i can get the opposite one which will plug the tail back into the loom - thus needing 2 of the 1 type & 1 of the other each this will allow us to have watertight OE connections for all parts!! so far, if ive counted right there is.... me cressa gotvach fendervg keyo crispo anybody else want one then shout up by monday 12th Oct as i will then close the list & order the connectors FYI it looks like i am going to be paying for the connectors out of my own pocket & then ask people to reimburse me. the actual cost of the loom will then be paid directly to kurzy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
