If you use a phase 2 loom and replace the old one you shouldn't need the diagram. Also makes it nice and neat!

A good job is worth taking time over!

Seriously though all you have to do is lift up the passenger side of the carpet.

True but im a bodging bastard

I believe the topic you are looking for has gone since some of the topics older than 2006 were taken offline to aid the board running speed, search to work faster & the article went up on the main website

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

 

do you remeber the diagram i am on about

[Simes 248 2 Cars]

Yep, I think it was either drawn out by Perfecto Pug or Pugtorque. I had a reasonable amount of input on that thread also.

Seriously by the time you've sussed out what goes where you could have a phase 2 loom in place and less likely it catching fire than a modded phase one!!

Agreed just get a complete phase2 loom, not that much hassle just take passenger seat out and lift up the carpet.

[DaveW 6]

Just write down the wire colours from 205gti.com, its very easy to do this conversion.

If you don't have a phase 2 loom is it possible to make one? Also if you install the phase 2 lights, do you also have to fit a reverse light where the reflector is?

[welshpug 1,666]

no, as the Reverse light isn't part of the MOT.

Sorry Simon there is no viable claim that the phase 2 conversion done the way I do is any more likely to catch fire than any other plug in connector on the car.

 

See attached picture for the loom I currently make, the picture of my car on the article has been changed to the same connector as in the picture.

 

You don't cut any of the original phase 1 wiring so it is reversable in the less time it takes to do the swap.

If you don't have a phase 2 loom is it possible to make one?

Its easier to follow the guide on the main website & get the part of the loom you need from a scrapped car imo.

A bit tongue in cheek originally, but not everyone makes looms as nicely as you. (spelt: PVC tape and badly terminated ends)
