Can you tell me what this is from?

To clarify - that's In Car Entertainment - not frozen water

Can you tell me what this is from?

Post by Pre_luda_Chris » Sun Oct 22, 2017 7:52 am

So I swapped out my headlight units while I was cleaning my engine bay and I found this taped up and tucked behind the headlight unit.

Can anyone tell me what it is for?

- it is part or with the same loom for the headlight unit
- it is a JDM BB6 SiR
- it was only found on the nearside

My guess is something to do with the SatNav DAB radio

(in the picture are also sidelight, dipped beam and main beam wiring)

.... So turns out "this forum has disabled media sharing" lol

Just a test as I have started using tapatalk to put images on the forum

Edit: seems to work, give it another bash.

a wild guess does the 5th gen have the resistor in the headlight wiring like a 4th gen so when your on sidelight the dip is only partly on :?
success is the ability to go from one failure to the next without any loss of enthusiasm :D :D

Without pics it is indeed hard to tell.

Could be the automatic headlights beam adjuster that uKdm cars have but JDM don’t have (or an option) so it’s there but not connected to nothing.

Or it could be intersection lights wiring.
