how long you been on here and you havnt learned to search!

you cant just swap stalks frm non plex to plex or the other way around!

you wont have a h7 lead on your car, you need the adaptor

Only on some models gaffa, about the time they just started
to make multi plex models, if you havent got the wiring. I highly suggest you see car electrician to wire it in for you.

I DO NOT WANT TO SEE ANOTHER THREAD FROM YOU SAYING YOU'VE SHORTED YOUR ECU AND BSI

its unlikely you'll have the plug waiting for you. you dont need to change your stalk either, but if you dont you wont be able to have both dipped and main beam at the same time. even if you do change the stalk you will still need adapters for the crystal headlights. get the adapter, change the stalk (in answer to your question its very easy, just have to remove the cover around the back of the steering wheel and afew torx screws) and your sorted

Try the dealers. H7 plug part number was listed on the site somewhere.

if i get the plug from there will i need to cut the wire to put it on or would it just connect over my old one?
