Side Light Wires
richyo - 20/1/06 at 01:50 PM

Got my near & off sides confused when wiring my headlights, so the cable for nearside is now at off side and cut to suit and vice-versa.

Does it make any difference ? I can't see why not but some of you I'm sure can advise.

TIA

I would have thought it was fine. Generally side lights are on a single fuse anyway so it doesn't matter.

no, but may help trouble shooting in the future.

can;t you just swap over the connectors for the two lamps or is it a trick question?

so long as there's no difference in the lens / beam pattern then you should be fine

but aren't they fed by the same wire (and therefore same colour wire) anyway so it makes no difference, or am I missing something here!!

Thanks gents
Its a PW loom and there are different coloured wires for O/S & N/S so I thought there was a reason.

all i would do is leave wires as they are and make a note on the PW instruction sheet for future reference.
