t3 twin headlamp wiring

[dink]

so i had a quick look at the wiki /\/\/\
i want to change the headamps to the square type, i have sourced scirocco headlamps which i'm told i can fit with a little modification to the front grill
does anyone have a wiring diagram, and do i need another switch
help me please

im pretty certain you cant use the scirocco outer lights.but you can use the inner ones...

go to the search button at the top of the page type in scirocco.and you will find info like this..https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.p ... t=scirocco

they can be made to fit
the outers are 20mm or so bigger, it will mean shaving down the grill and welding 4 tabs onto each of the back plates and the removal of the indicator mounts on each back plate
i've seen it done
bignut had a white panel t3 which had them on it, so i know it's possable
i've also read somewhere that maestro headlamps can be made to fit, but they are a nightmare to fit
it's the wiriing diagram that i'm not sure of
what switch to use for the inner pair of lights, do i use the foglight switch
do t3's with square headlamps have another switch
do the inner lights come on with the main beam

The smaller lights in a Standard Square headlight set up activate on HighBeam only. The smaller lights are connected to the High Beam cables that already exist behind the bulb connector.

The plastic conector for the back of the hibeam is the same as conects to the sidelights on T3's or contempory dubs so steel a pair from a scrappy if you haven't got any (or buy off VW as they are cheep). They take standard non insulated 6.3mm latching female blades avalable from vehicle wireing products. They'll also sell you some replacement blades for the outer beams - chop the earth and high beam off that and recrimp new ones on with the second wires comming out for the high beams. Leaves you with tidy OEM standard wireing so the lights will work properly, bulbs are easy to change and won't flicker every time you cross a white line (preveous owner of mine just wound the wires round the bulbs and hoped they stayed there cos he was a bodgeing ....)
