Plenty of pics in the DIY guide, you can't pull the wire out you have to cut it & use block connectors (find 'em in your local auto accessory shop) to swap & refit. Takes 5mins per side. :wink:

You can pull the connectors out with the correct tools. :P But! you may as well just cut and use connectors as you'll need to swap the lights back over for MOT, unless your going to wire in the fog light.

see thing is, i sort of vaigly know how to do it! but am stuggling to pull it off! and are 6n2 lights not legal? e.g. "change over for MOT" ???

also you know the connectors that you put one wire into one end and the other end in the other, isit really as simple as putting them in and screwing them in? and it'l work?

is there no one in the leics area who wants to come give me a hand? :\ as i dont have the drill to make the 15mm hole?

could some one do me an IDIOTS GUIDE? maybe? thanks :)

That is Odd! :? Mine defiantly works as I was checking all the lights before heading off to East London the other day, so it must work for you, are the wires all pushed in and screwed in tightly? Very odd.
