Converting pre facelift head lights to face lift

Rav told me that some alterations to the wireing is needed in order to swap headlights. I was just wondering if anyone had a guide on how to do this or any links to any kits etc?

cheers

I swapped pre facelift headlights to Smileys, didn't follow any guide, just had to splice in the correct connectors. I'm sure someone in the parts for sale will have a set ready to chop off a breaker.

IIRC, there's an extra wire on the pre facelift, which is just another earth wire. Connect it to one of the other earths.

Rings a bell... trivial stuff either way! :)
