When I bought Vermin, he had ALL new wiring, but the lights did ALL kinds of STRANGE things. First of all someone used a loom for a car with cowl lights, (which my car doesn't have), then they tied into the short wire for the cowl lights & ran extra wires to the headlights & completely taped them to the main headlight looms! The wiring order inside the headlight switch was all switched around. I got a wiring diagram, removed the extra wires, & FINALLY got everything plugged in correctly. WHAT A MESS!!! I had a back ache, for a week! The good thing was that he has some REALLY quality, nickel plated, re-pro headlights.
