Can you post the link to the Hella lamp/housing that you mentioned? I see a few different part numbers offered.

Thanks! Are you sure you don't mean the Hella 002395031 HLMP 7"?? In the reviews on this link you sent, there are a few people who proved that these headlamps are for RHD vehicles only. Check it out.

As suggested above, make sure your switch contacts are good at the stalk before putting something like this in.

Toruki,
Was this harness plug-n-play? It says not compatible with our vehicles. I just want to make sure that the wire orientations in the sockets line up with the factory wiring. I read where some people had to move wires around into different sockets.
