Does your c5 have a partial loom already on it ?

Nope. It has NO wires whatsoever.

Sorry thats lost me, i only remembered where my wires went because i took pictures, some of them are straight forward, but their are some that's not used unless you have indicators etc.

Andy - if possible could you either email minimin some piccies or post them here ?
Piccies speak a thousand words so it might be the easiest answer.

Not sure what ones i have now, but i will have a look.

Not sure ! Do you mean loom ?

Retro Andy

I found this two pictures of the control box wires, hope they help a little, if you have a complete wiring loom, then some of the wires have no connectors on the ends, these are only used for indicators etc, if your c5 does'nt have indicators etc then a lot of the wires are just neatly cable tied away, but the rest should be easy to work out, like the lights, the power switch, pod and motor.

Also have a look at my restoration picture's (type in to the search bar:- Andy's Project) you may find some of these pictures useful, feel free to drop me a message with your phone number and i will call you and explain where the wires go a bit better.

Hi Karl,
How long would it take for an order to get to me if I were to order tonight?
Thanks

Also, how do you get the rear break light off (opened up?)
Thanks
Mark

Retro Andy

If you mean once the light unit is removed, you cant seperate the rear lense from the grey bulb holder back part, the light is one moulded unit.
