HID bug to blob conversion help
I'm embarking on my bug to blob conversion today, and have questions re: wiring up the headlights.
My WRX is JDM and had HID headlamps (look to be factory fitted) which I wish to sell on if poss
Firstly what is this thing for? It appears to be a terminator cap - to be removed if fitting something additional to the car, but what I wonder?
Now then, the main issue, there are a few connectors on the loom that don't interface with the blob headlights (also HID, sourced from MB developments), here are the photos highlighting the connector differences, I'd rather not cut the bug headlamp wiring if poss, blob lamp on the left, bug on the right:
sidelights and indicators?
I believe the next pic is from the ballast?
what are my options?
If i cut the needed connectors from the old bug HID lamps. Am I going to struggle to get them again from breakers / dealer without paying out loads ?
Urgently need to know how others have gotten over this really.

Looks as if you could do with the loom tails/plugs to match your new lights.
Maybe mattyB can supply???

You have a couple of choices.
Carefully remove the pins from the blob lights and insert them into the bug connectors if that's possible?
Or cut and solder the plugs.
You have very few other options. Personally I'd be looking out for another JDM loom for you to use rather than cut your existing one.
