Bloomin' Loomin! - Upgrades to connections in headlamp shell

 April 2023

As usual one thing leads to another.

Installing tail light indicator assembly  

- connect to loom

- how about some warning lights on the panel ?

-  obtain LEDs, adapt loom, and connect

- very difficult to make the connections, even then the warning lights remained inactive

- resort to single standard bulb warning light similar to original as bought

All the above generated hours of fiddling on, resulting in a duty to ensure all work properly documented for owner number 3 (whoever that might be).  The rebuild was some time ago, and back then a bespoke loom was built to replace the old knackered stuff in the headlight shell, however this was not a copy of the factory version.

The whole exercise has made me think the best thing would be to start all over again, maybe that will be a project for next winter.

Below is a schematic, followed by a connection matrix.  This covers it I think.
