Thanks man, I'll give it a go. I didn't cut them, tapped in but think something has worked loose

hi guys, back to work on the car

installing the control unit thingy for an aftermarket keyless entry, so far i have grounded the unit and supplied the constant 12v, all fine, unit is clicking upon pressing the keyfob buttons so i have power!

I followed a website listing for what wires to connect to what and the unit was still responding but nothing was happening to the locks, im wiring straight into the existing central locking module under the steering wheel. I know im hacking into the correct wires as i have lost central locking from the passenger door now so im on the right path....

basically, i have a few wires left and don't know what color wires to connect them to...

different websites tell me different things so any idea what wire is lock and which is unlock? also if anyone knows which one will make the turn signals OR main beams flash that would be great

Thanks in advance

I had the same issue but mine was a bad ground connection from installing glow gauges (they weren't wired to anything relevant either) but i re-grounded it and worked fine (well, after blowing a fuse twice anyway). Not saying this is your problem though but if you have any aftermarket wiring it might be a factor

Thanks Nihal

I already had that cheat sheet and just realised im a total idiot, i was looking for a blue/green singular wire not realising that it means a blue wire and a green wire (so technically three connections in total for the locking aspect) - doh!

Hi
Installing aftermarket central locking, got the 12v constant working fine, grounded well, cannot suss out the lock/unlock connections at all.

The locking unit im installing has two white (lock) wires and one white/black (unlock). After taking advice on here previously i connected the lock wires to the blue/black wire that plugs into the locking module (next to the steering column) but the unlock is supposed to be connected to a blue/green in the same location. I cant find a blue/green so after some googling i went into the solid blue, nothing, tried plenty of alternatives too and nothing.

The unit itself is powering up and clicks when i press lock or unlock on the fob, the LED flashes when set to lock too

Please can someone help, with some connection advice, this is killing my brain now

ahh cool, well it did my head in so they aint going back in glad you like yours tho

You getting any buzzing from the transistor? I took my glo-gauges back out coz of it but my wiring was a temp-job to see how they looked (i grounded at the kick panel and took the live from the rear light fuse, also looped the on/off control so they only came on with the low/high beam)

I couldn't work out if the buzzing was normal or not so just left them out...

hmmm i was happy with my 6k's but now im going to drop down to 4300's purely because the crisp white looks so much better, all these forums do is cost me money!!!

I have these in mu UK Celi but I dont have projectors so can only give partial advice

I have H1 in my stock headlights, perfect fit
They are plug and play, you plug the power running into the stock light into the ballast, the ballast is then connected to your HID bulbs
I haven't hidden my ballast's as they aren't untidy, you don't get a massive amount of cable to drop them down very far either but you can easily just tuck them in somewhere and zip-tie or screw to secure

Also, mine are 6k but I'm still known as the guy with the blue headlights....just a thought for you

I got 7gen cards when i got my 7gen seats and its the first thing i looked into, not compatible at all im afraid, completely different size and bolt layout

I tried cutting it too as was going to plastic weld what i needed to and wrap it but long story short - no dice. Best idea if you want something different would be buy some old 6gen cards and play around with some fibreglass and wrapping/painting techniques to see if you get something you're happy with

You're a star my man, thank you. That cheat sheet is gonna come in handy

Hi guys. Fitting a hawk universal remote locking system. Sussed out the door polarities etc so 99% confident wiring this in but.....need to know where to take a permanent live from? Hawk have told me the white thick wire in the steering column but the only thick wire is white and black, I dont think this would be a perm live anyway? any ideas appreciated. I did use the search before some wise ass replies with that looks like there is a thick white going into the back end of the ignition barrell.....99 st btw. Thanks in advance

Really love the styling and the way you have done this, very attractive car, always thought the GT front end suits having the rear spoiler too, aggressive from front to back that way

Great job!

I remember them too but remember thinking that they could only look good on a black Celi, how wrong I was

Car is looking great

Smkr3w - thank you, I persevered and got a near perfect result Totally owe you on this as nearly did the old 'cut a template and ignore the dippy bit' method which I would never have been happy with

looks good for a DIY job, interested to see the pics when these are sitting on the car

So Brian is kindly sorting the lenses for me but car failed its emissions test on Co2 Assuming its because of the lambda sensor so car is off the road for a couple of days, stupid environmental hippies!

Gear surround wrap has finally come out perfectly, next onto LED work and pics to follow

Thanks man, I'll take your advice for attempt number 73,000 I'm a total perfectionist when it comes to wrapping and hate myself a little bit more every time i notice a crappy bit This is my final piece that I cant quite nail

edit: duplicate post - durh me!

so much better without the wood

Serious question, what technique did you use to wrap the shifter surround? I have tried this so many times and really struggle with the sloping bit, are you heating teh wrap and pulling in from the middle?

Love this thread, your car is going to be epic!

Absolutely love the colour scheme, very sexy car

Thanks Keiri, PM'd

Cant decide if I love these or hate them
