I have a set of Prodrive WR sport twin lights (as fitted to the UK300) and want to fit them to my Prodrive Sti7, Type UK.
I do not have the brown connector that reference is made too in the instructions and so far the only connectors that are compatible are the side lights and indicators.
Has anyone done this swap before? I understand that the light levelling wiring is a bit of an issue with the Sti coming with a 6 pin connector and the WRX coming with the 3 pin connectors...In other words; Please help

Jools,
I looked at doing this when i first got my STi, it can be done, but you need someone to make you a short sub loom up otherwise you will loose the beam height adjuster. In all honesty the STI light unit is much better at providing light than the UK300, why bother?, a decent set of bulbs, or even better an HID conversion on the dip beam side would be a better bet. For what you could sell the UK33 lights you would get an HID set

Sorry Yuan,
Not for sale and apart from that my Sti lights are not in good condition. Car has done 20K on some real remote roads with lots of grit and they are sand blasted to bits, hence why I changed them when I got the Prodrive ones cheap.
As a side note, anyone know how to "polish" them to get rid of the sand blasting.

No, they came off a car with front end damage and I bought them from the repair shop.
The car had a bird strike to the grill. Get this bit, the lights were fine, apart from two little cracks were the lower part of the front grill fits into the light moulding, but the owner wanted new lights on his company insurance...Hence, I got them for pocket money.
