Hey guys, I'm new here and ready to dive into the community.
I've been the proud owner of UK300 for a few months now but somethings really bugging me.
The car has previously had under glow and got knows what else fitted.
I'm trying to take the car back to standard but someone's decided to make a few modifications to the wiring loom in the engine bay.
So I'm looking for help and advice on the lighting wiring;
Front headlights are spliced into the wiring loom so am looking for photos/diagrams of what it should look like.
Also the front repeaters on the side panels are completely missing all wiring, cannot find it anywhere, so could someone please tell me where the comes from and goes on the body of the car so I can have a hunt around to try and find it.
TIA

 

The layout of the various looms can be found near the end of section 3

If what you mean by the "front repeaters" (side garnish) those on the front wings next to the Headlights - they were originally blank panels in body colour amber reflectors,but for the UK300 were white/clear. no wiring involved, unless you modded/replaced them with aftermarket items. The side repeaters were at the rear of the wing next to the A pillar.(UK300 clear versions)

Thanks very much, these wiring diagrams should be very helpful.

I assumed that the "garnish" as you put it were meant to be working repeaters, but I am glad to hear that they are just reflectors.
Thanks again, I shall let you know how I get on.

 

The US models used them as official side marker lights.( not included in UK/Euro looms). UK/European models just as reflectors or decorative inserts( body colour/carbon fibre/white) as they had the standard side A pillar repeaters.

I see I may have been a bit confused here, it is the A-Pillar repeaters I am talking about, not the reflective inserts near the front end of the wing.
The A-Pillar repeaters are missing all wiring, although I shall use the wiring diagrams you sent to try and fish them out.

 

I see - remove or pull back the wheel arch liners in the front wings to expose the wiring

 

The MY01/02 cars had separate bulbs in the repeaters later models had a captive bulb.

 

Yes I have tried, I've had the arch liners completely out, although there's not much left of them XD.
Cant seem to find the wiring anywhere, I think it's possible that someone has fitted a different wiring loom to standard.
As I say, this plus the spliced in wires for the headlights makes me wonder. There are connections there for the headlights but they do not seem to be the right ones for the headlights.
I was wondering if it possibly had something to do with the under glow that was once fitted, repurposing of the the OEM wiring to accommodate it.

 

The Bulkhead loom is the main harness so doubtful anyone would change it. The front harness is also quite big.
If you can see the 2 main grommets in the wheel arches into the cabin you should be able to tell if the wires haved been removed/cut.

 

I'll have to pull it apart and have a look again,
I have some new arch liners arriving soon anyway so I'll have a good go at it.
I'm sure you'll hear from me in a week or so, when I've either solved the problem or made it worse.
