Default Headlight Adjuster Loom

Where can i find the plugs that connect to the electric adjusters?

I have a Bug WRX, i'm removing the UK300 lights which seems to have larger 3 pin plugs on which don't fit standard lights

I would imagine those would be loom specific, so impossible to get.
How many wires in them?

Agreed, but unless you cut them off a loom on a scapper, you won't get them, I reckon.

If you are putting standard WRX lights on I'm changing to the STI 6-pin connectors if I can get some - I'll cut mine off and let you have them for £10 delivered (plus paypal fees or gift it)

Have you got the connectors now then Jon?

I have managed to get hold of a pair plus JDM switch and the plug that goes into it from scoobyspares.

No I haven't mate, plan B is in force which will involve rewiring the factory loom and using 18 x 2.8mm crimps and some insulating sleeves

I also have some universal 6-way connectors to make it easier

Being a time-served spark has it's benefits

Sounds like it mate cos what you just written confuses the hell out of me. I have asked for as much wire on each of the plugs as possible and hopefully it should be easier to see which wire goes to where. May need to pick your brains if I get problems?

I've looked at it and you can re-use the 4 factory wires for the signals and then just need to find a live and earth at each end which is a piece of cake TBH, use the live from the dipped beam so the leveler motor only works when the lights are on and anything at the switch end. If you need some help I have the subaru workshop manuals which includes the wiring diagrams
