There was two little faults, one being the headlight leveling didnt work and the second (not really being a fault just me being particular) being the indicators on the mk6's have a separate plug for the indicators.
To sort the headlight leveling, it was a simple case of moving one of the earths in the plug from pin 1 to 5. This gives the headlight leveling motor its earth to work.
To sort the indicators so that they work from the main plug, I cut the plug off the harness, loose the black (earth) and tape/tuck it away into the harness, then extend the +ve wire, tape it into the loom so its nice and neat and push it into pin 1 on the main headlight connector.
Hi
I'm amazed at the amount of information you are supplying regarding conversion
I have been thinking and asking these things for months before I started my upgrade.
Mines in paint shop but I know these little things are going to need to be addressed.
So were above you say regarding self levelling and indicators in mk7. Are your mods to the mk6 plug ? Does moving earth to pin 1 not leave another bulb unearthed ?? Or did you take a spur-feed from it and does the cut plug indicator earth become unusable and you just relocate the + ?
cheers kev
