Hi folks. I'm looking for some advise. I got myself a secondhand pair of front fogs but didn't realise the fog connectors changed from 2000 to 2001 onwards Blush
My question is has anyone got any advise on how i could make the newer 2003 connectors fit in my older 2000 connector ?

Cheers.

you could upgrade your fogs to HID's and then wire direct to the ballast thus avoiding the connector problem....

alternatively if you can find the connectors you could cut and solder new ones on...

Thanks for the advise Rabster. I think trying to find the newer wire is a cheaper option. Hopefully i can source one.

Does anyone know for sure, when the connectors for the front fogs changed.
I THINK it maybe 2001 onwards but not 100% certain.

So Rabster, if i went for the HID route, would i order an H3 kit (new fogs) and wouldn't need to cut any wires on my HB4 connectors. Would this be just plug and play ?

Thanks

Shahz has fitted the newer ones on his car, worth asking him how difficult it was to do.

Ok cool, he mentioned it on the thread when I was asking about replacing a fog light (which I still haven't got round to doing :blushingSmile and I think it was just a case of cutting off the old connectors and soldering the new ones one but if it's at a garage they should be able to figure it out Smile
