Headlight Loom upgrade : 14 Jan 2006
Box of wiring required for various jobs on the quattro, the first of
which being to upgrade the front headlight loom
Box of relays, relay base's, and self-amalgamating tape
Crimp connections. These are a VAG part, and are heatshrunk after
crimping. They also contain glue, so that they are sealed against
water ingress.
These are the feeds to the drivers side headlight. The duplicate
feed on each gives me expansion capability later...
Headlight connector. This is to be changed as it's not great. The
extra wiing spurs have been sealed with a short length of heatshrink
tubing.
Exposed metal on the contacts on this plug. Not good....
The finished loom end. The ring terminal goes to the main +ve
terminal on the alternator. The spare lighting feed wires have been
covered up and tie-wrapped for possible use in the future.
And here is the loom in situ. I added a second P-clip to hold it
securely.
Fuse holder connected to main feed from Alternator. The high and low
beams each their own 20Amp fuse.
From the fuse holder, two feeds go to the relay bases.
Here is the fuse holders, relay bases and relays all assembled and
wired. I just need to add in a few earth wires.
