The pins?
Hiya,
When I changed my lights over I took the connector block out the back of the old lights and there was a little cover on this which I pulled open.
Once you've done this you can see that the pins are held in place by a tiny little one way tab on the bacl of them. After a bit of fiddling I just held the tab in with a medium sized sewing pin and pulled on the back of them (Wire end) with a pair of needle nose pliers, hey presto. Then I just swapped them about as required to get the new lights on. Took a bit of time on the first attempt (Drivers side) but done it in no time with the passenger side.
My description probably isn't the clearest way of describing this procedure :blink: but hopefully it will help you out. :D

aye basically you need to ajust the wiring to allow for the mk2 lights

yep see my guide at the top of the arosa section
Hiya, here I have copied and pasted the guide for the correct re-wire of the pins/colours (sourced from Club Lupo and Arosa Racer's previous posting):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The plugs on the new lights have numbers on them 1-6 here are the colours for each pin and what number they correspond to.
OFFSIDE
1 BLACK/RED
2 GREY/RED
3 NOT USED - EMPTY
4 BROWN
5 BLACK/GREEN
6 GREY/WHITE
NEARSIDE
1 BLUE/BACK
2 WHITE/BLACK
3 BROWN
4 NOT USED - EMPTY
5 RED/BLACK
6 BLACK/GREY
Buy some spare fuses just in case. Please check guide above and check again when putting in the pins to the new locations. If in doubt :confused: consult a qualified auto electrician.
