Default Wiring STI lights into a bug-eye WRX

Hi !

Does anyone know of a link to help me (and KojaK) do the above too his car ?
I've got loads of stuff, but colour coding on levelling motors would be a big help !

Cheers,

dunx

Are these the JDM Sti units?

I have fitted the 'Wagons Ho' harness inc. levelling to my WRX Bug with JDM STis and could take a peek if you need. I had to change the levelling switch as well (Nissan part).

There was a wiring diagram on here, but I can't find it at the moment.

TBH, I've not bothered with the leveling, the alignement's good enough for the MOT and I never use my car for lugging any real weight about, the wife's people carrier is for that.

In the mean time try this...



You will need a new leveler switch as the WR$X one has only 4 connections, the STi one has 6.

Color code Color
L - Blue
B - Black
Y - Yellow
G - Green
R - Red
W - White
Br - Brown
Lg - Light green
Gr - Gray
P - Pink
Or - Orange
Lb - Light Blue
V - Violet
SA - Sealed (Inner)
SB - Sealed (Outer)

I've emailed you a better copy of the above pic. If you need anything else I wired my own lights as well as made a loom for Stalked!

Many thanks oh wise one

I used to make looms for motorhomes & caravans, so not too phased by it all !
But not so hot on the internet when it comes to it !
Very old, hard to learn...

Cheers,

I know what you mean, I trained on aircraft electrical systems, but for the last 18 months I've been working networks and it really doesn't excite me.

Couldn't see anything other than the Nissan logo on the side of the switch, it's black not Scooby Brown though!
