This is my first post on hear so HELLO first of all.

I have a set of mk 1 hella headlights and they obviously have a mark 1 coupler on them, but the problem i have is my RS has mk 2 couplers for the headlights.

Has anybody fitted mk1 hella headlights on the RS? If so how did you get around this.

Only idea i have is to cut the coupler off the new headlights (dont want to cut the coupler off the cars loom) and get terminals to fit into the RS's coupler.

Any help would be great.

Thank you for your time.

I've got them on my focus rs all you have to do is get the early type conectors, i think you can buy ka ones!! which fit (strip the car loom,you don't have to cut them) all you need then is to get the conector view for an old mk1 focus pre2001 and change the wiring around took me less than a hour!!!

 

Thanks mate.

Any chance you know where to get connector view?

Thank you

Rhys

 

Where did you get the ka connectors?

Phoned fords and they dont sell just the connector.

Think ill have to go to a scrappy.

 

THEY USE TO SELL THEM!! TRY AND GET THE PART NO 2MORROW!! YOU HAVE TO GET THE CONNECTOR VIEW FROM FORD. THE TECHS WOULD HAVE TO GO ON TO ETIS AND GET THE WIRING VIEWS FOR YOU (JUST SPEAK TO SOMEONE IN THE WORKSHOP) IF NOT TRY TO LOOK AT AN PRE 2001 FOCUS AND CHANGE YOUR CONNECTORS AROUND

 

Thank you mate.

Maybe just my dealer then.

It's starting to do my head in now

As long as i can get the connector i should be able to do the rest.

Rhys.

 

try finis no 6485840 should be the part number for the pre 2001 focus headlamp connector (car side)

 

Ill try tomorrow.

Your a gent mate

Thank you.

 

Wrong part mate. that number is for the connector that goes on to the bulb.

Next step scrappy i think.

 

i'll have to give my mate a slap for giving me the wrong finis number!! try to get the right one!!! have you got the connector views yet?

 

No not yet. When i get them off a car ill write them down.

Where did you get your connectors?

 

Got hold of the connectors today.

Cost me £23! Hade to pay £10 for each of them for cutting the loom.

Worth it tho coz of the hastle ive had trying to get them!

Thanks mate

 

when you put them on the rs you will have one black wire left over just tape it back into the loom!!! you don't need it

 

ok mate thanks.
