You Can Use The Stock Bulbholders With These, Don`t Cut The Old Ones Off!!!!
NONONONONONONO!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
These are Micra connectors (says so on the back of the packet)!!! (if you`d searched, you`d find I had the same problem)
I`ve also had a hunt for pics, but can`t find any, (probably because i didn`t take any @ the time)
This maybe a long post, so I appologise in advance!
You don`t need to cut the stock connectors off!!!
This I what I did to get mine on.
The only thing you need to buy is a roll of insulating tape!
This is what you do:
1) remove micra connector from repeater body, remove bulb from holder
2) remove the little black rubber ring (water seal) from the bulb holder & discard bulbholder
3) refit ring into repeater body (just push it in)
4) remove stock repeater body & swap the bulbs (new bulb goes into socket still on car)
5) push stock bulbholder/connector into new repeater body as far as it will go
6) remove connector from repeater body (you should now have 2 black rings on the bulbholder,-original & new- about 2-3mm apart)
7) apply insulating tape to the connector over the 2 rubber rings (to keep them in place) then move up to the cable & fit connector to repeater body & tape them together (go round @ least twice to make it completely wartertight)
8) connect lens body to front wing
9) repeat for other side of car
That`s it, job done. (I`ve had mine on for about 6/7 months & had no probs with them)
If you do need to change a bulb, take off the tape & just repeat steps 6 & 7 afterwards.
I hope that all made sense!
Thanks for reading.
