Headlight loom

[XcorsaAL]

So when putting in my side lights I realised that the boy that had the car before was a blunt tool and has cut all the wires off and then put them back together with them cheap spade connectors for some random reason ! So was wondering how awkward it is to replace the whole loom and where to go get one ?

[johnny]

It would be alot easier to solder them or use better crimps, all I use anymore is straight through crimps there so easy to use and after the first arc they'll never come apart

[XcorsaAL]

yeah i donno though lilt he sole side light wire like just came out when i was following it back :/

is it just a plug it goes to ?

[johnny]

Don't understand the first part

[XcorsaAL]

Aww sorry bloody auto correct on my laptop :L
And basically I was changing the side light bulb and the wire came apart at the crimped part of the spade ! So then I was following it back cus it was snagged on something and basically it wasn't attracted and the whole wire came out :L I was just like wtf is this !

[johnny]

Aww ok well I can't remember where goes before the fusebox, but you could run a new wire to the fuse box and splice in under the dash

[XcorsaAL]

WWW OKy that sounds like a good bet actually ! cheers

[XcorsaAL]

other question actually is like what emm gauge wire would i use ? just cus I'm no sparky like i don't really know where to start tbh !

[johnny]

I actually have no idea I just pull it off a roll from work so I'll have a check tomorrow

[gazza_no7]

I think the wire will be either 0.75mm or 1mm as it is only for lights

[Domwhitex]

Id expect it to be 1mm tbh

[XcorsaAL]

Haha fair enough :L

Thanks Johnny

[johnny]

[XcorsaAL]
