I own a 2007 Vogue both light have been damaged so I decided to purchase a pair of 2010 rear lights . I'm sure I can't be the only idiot out there but I am struggling to get these to work properly... can anyone help me?

I've tried looking over the net but it all seems a bit of a closed door and I refuse to be beaten. From what I understand I need to use 50 Watt resistors in parallel? however with the side lights on during a night drive the resistors surely would get so warm I could reheat my dinner Also on the back of the lights it mentions 5 Volts do I need to reduce the voltage aswell....?

Please help as I can't drive my works van for much longer I'm going mad

There might be some info in this post:

(best to try and keep all the info together in one thread rather than it spreading out)

 

Thanks I did have a look over that thread but it seems to have lost any momentum...

I was hoping someone may have had a bit more info since the last post

I have however added my post to the link you list

Thanks

Resistors seem the method of choice. Having mine wired in tomorrow. I think i'm right in saying you don't need them for side lights though, only indicators ( to reduce flash speed) so won't be on constantly. Fogs are trickier, need a 4 way relay. And yes in ideal world i believe you should reduce voltage but i think most conversions don't.

check a thread out on rangerovers.net about an overfinch 2010 conversion and most of what you need is in there.

£15 for a diagram ...  ... - .- -.

Well someone had to do it soon. Once mines fitted tomorrow i'll sell it for £13 (only joking).

I actually reckon you'll sell a few of these and considered myself (once my kits fitted, front and rear) duplicating the parts and diagram and selling as a kit. I paid a hefty sum for a diagram ( the expensive knowledge bit) and a couple of resistors and relays!!
