Headlight loom

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 ?

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

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 !

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

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