prodrive to morrette h/light swap
alright guys...
big problem here...just changed a set of prodrive WR headlights for a set of morrettes...no problem i thought, but ive had a nightmare...think the connectors for the prodrive lights mightve been changed or be non-standard (special prodrive ones?) as ive had to split the casing on the one of the morrette connectors in order to connect to the lighting loom...also, with it all connected, my headlights are cut-out when i activate my main-beam which doesnt work at all...very confused...?!?! has anyone changed from prodrive headlights to morrettes, or if not does anyone know what my problem is and how to fix it...?
cheers in advance, bri...
p.s. im posting this in different forums for maximum exposure...!

For the Morretes there should be three 3-pin connectors, all different types (so you can't connect the wrong ones) on each unit. The passenger side also has a flying lead with two ring connectors for connecting to the battery, plus a long lead with a male and female spade connector on the end which runs across the front of the car and attaches to the two spare spade connectors (again, one male and one female) on the driver's side unit. The three 3-pin connectors are all the same as the OEM light take. What has the Prodrive got in the way of cannectors?

yeah the prodrive connectors are different...had to split the plastic casing on the smallest 3-pin connector on the light unit in order to get it to fit, but its no problem, ill just wrap some ins tape around it...the largest rubber connector was no problem, but the grey connector was also a tight/bad fit, but good enough, probably tape that as well...managed to get them to work in the end, dont know what the problem was but all i did today was wire them up to the battery and everthings fine...weird...!!!
thatll be a set of UK300 WR headlights for sale then...!
