Default Bug STI headlights

Picked up a cheap set of UK Sti headlights (non hid) for a Bugeye the only thing by looking at them i may struggle on is the wiring for the leveler

Has anybody done the conversion before ? and could supply a wiring diagram on how to wire the leveler


Mine has a 3 wire plug and the sti ones have a 6 wire plug

I never got around to doing mine (and have never needed to) but as well as adding additional wiring you'll need to change the WRX switch to an STI one as it has an additional pin-out. The cheaper option is to change it for a Nissan Almera one which can be had for a fiver or so; if you take the current one out and look you'll notice it is Nissan branded anyway

Cheers Jon. Youve had no issues at MOT time with the fact you can't level? My dipped are HiD's so just assumed I would run into problems

I removed the leveler switch and the MOT handbook states it must work if fitted. Mine line up fine so never had an issue

Aha, I see a plan formulating that isn't going to involve wiring and time!!

Cheers Jon
