I am looking to fit some "Rear LED lights" on a 2006 RRS and they are straightforward but they also need resisters fitted and I am not sure where these get wired into as there are about six different coloured wires on the loom that comes from the body? Does anyone happen to know where I can find some step by step instructions (photos would be good) of where the live feed and earth feed go to on the loom? What colour is Live and what is earth? Any help would be great?
thanks

Hi globe 195 if you search me in members td6006 and look thriugh my post all the info you want is there inc photos.you will need 50w 6ohms resistors find them on ebay about £6 fit them in the boot behind side panels very easy takes about an hour let me know if you need any more help m8

Thanks TD6006. I did check out your post and the photo shows the resisters fitted to the back of the light unit itself as opposed to the inside the boot side panels as you suggest?
Do you happen to have a photo of where exactly you mean and how you have connected the resisters up and also to what coloured wires?
I already have the resisters and each one has a green wire on one end which I believe is "live" and white wire on the end which I believe is the earth? but it's where they need to be connected too inside the boot side panels that I am unsure about? Any further help would be great?

i'm waiting them ....
if u wait some days i'll post some pics.
bye

Thanks

Hi globe 195 search me out again then on my posts look up RRS PIMP reply to me then click on his gallery and there are the pics on how to fit in rear boot and his reply gives colours to connect to regards td6006

Thanks TD6006

Purchased them on ebay (£340). Recieved 2 right ones at first but managed to get that sorted out and recieved a left one two days later? Thanks to some help from some of the forum posts I managed to get the resisters fitted and they are now up and running and working Ok! The only problem I now have is that the following dayI noticed that the right cluster was badly misted up and this did not look good at all? I contacted the seller and explained the situation but he said he is not sure if he can take it back as I have modified it by fitting the resister to it?(I chose to fit it directly to the unit by first putting some heat resistent metal tape on the unit and then some heat resistent bonding glue on top of that before sticking the resistor on) I am waiting to hear back from the seller to see if his supplier will take it back but as far as I am concerned it was not fit for purpose before I made any modifications? Watch this space??

Hopefully you will be able to sort this all out? And by the way? Why so many question marks?? Vadim A.

Thanks Big DJ. What type of sealant would you recommend?

I would say any silicone sealent. The other thing that you could try is to heat the seal up on the light with a heat gun or a hair dryer may do it. This may reseal it as it cools down?
