Dual headlamp

[Guinness]

Right lads bought a n/s headlamp Im after the O/S one was wondering if anyone has the part number and price from seat. Also how the hell am i going 2 fit these to a 1.2, seat say it can be done but needs the loom moddifying :S

any help much appreciated.

the loom wont need modifying afaik will be the same multiplug connection on the back! just remove the front bumper undo the 3 torx bolts on either lamps and simply swop then put bumper back on but there is adjusters on the lamps tomake it sit properly to the bumper and the grills so make sure you adjust accordingly!

sweet sounds good al get it aligned properly after. Im fancying HIDs but want the dual headlight.

The only thing that made me think It might need moddfying is on the accesories page for the colour coded headlight, it says for a 1.2 it will need moddifying.

Chears for ya help rash appreciated as always . Anyone know the part number and price for the o/s headlamp

 

[rashcupra]

never know smaller engined models to have diffrent connetions! your going to be paying around £80 minimum for a headlamp!

IIRC the loom connects directly onto the back of the bulbs

with the single headlamps there is a duel filament bulb with 3 spade conectors and on the duel headlamp there are 2 bulbs with only 2 conectors

so methinks the loom will need a slight mod to split the wires and give both bulbs in the duel headlamp an earth

anyone done this mod ?

 

[Guinness]

not too botherd about paying around £80 for one I got the other one for £40 so not 2 bad mod for the price really, just wiring that might be hard I think. I think people do know how to do it as SEAT say their dealers can do it so it cant be that hard lol

 

[rashcupra]

could you get a picture up of the connections and also im interested to the diffrence between the duel headlamp and single

ebay mate, theres a few on there now

Yep, there's loads on eBay!

You should be able to unplug the headlamps from the loom and try the new ones sitting on the slam panel...saves stripping the front end and finding out they're wrong! I would try it with the one you ordered first, before wasting money on another.

 

[Guinness]

I know it can be done so I will be getting them its just the actual doing it. Heres some pictures of the loom

sorry there massive my phone camera sucks lol

 

[rashcupra]

same type of connector i have!

 

[Guinness]

sweet am excited now chears rash mate.

 

[Nath.]

ahh ok so they have a plug and don't just connect onto the back of the bulbs, sweet

 

[Guinness]

[Guinness]

np mate al put a guide up as there are loads of threads asking about it and no one has done it. I changed the oil in the ibiza today was rather good must admit car seems to have a bit more too it now not peformance just it get temp quicker and feels bit better am dead happy with myself lol

 

[Rosco906]

Did u use my brief guide lol

Mines is away now for the good old warranty work

As soon as its back getting dumped on its hoop and change the timing belt

 

[Guinness]

aye used your guide much appreciated mate al make a guide out of that when I do it again in november. My next service is going 2 cost me but want it done properly want brake fluid change, timing belt with tensioners, brake disks, pads and oil. Aslo getting the bushes changed whilst my mechanic is on that. Car should rock then lol

 

[Rosco906]

Disc's and pad's are a doddle.

May do a guide when i need to change mines as there warped and the garage i got the car from just put pads in them.

Getting my x gaffer to do my timing belt, fan belt and i'l do the coily's.

Just ive never set them up before and it always helps to know

 

[Guinness]

aye didnt think pads and disks would be too hard, me and my mate probably will give it ago. But I think I might get my coils done as well like here there a bit dodgey
