I did this on my car nearly a year ago.  You need to tap an additional power supply.  There are insturctions on SC.
Title: 2004 vs 2002 Headlight Clusters
Post by: Anonymous on May 31, 2005, 13:34
Most interesting to read the new clusters are post 2003. I have recently aquired a nice white import which is believed to be 2002 however sports the new style lights up front ??   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  

1 big prob it has a "Halfords" style rear fog light to conform to UK standards, again the new light clusters are in the rear anyone out there converted an import to UK spec & how ??   s:cry: :cry: s:cry:

If what you want to do is put the rear fog light into the rear light housings what I did was remove the inner side light (the jap spec has two side lights each side) and replace the inner one with fog bulbs and conectors however I had to make the hole in the housing bigger to acomodate the larger connector
Hope this helps
