Very strange.

All 4 of mine have H7's, and the each connecter only has 2 wires.

Well, the Fairlane front end didn't even last 24 hours, I've ripped it all off and am starting to fit the XR front.

It didn't do it for me.
Plus it looked like there would have been some issues with the back seat.

This has turned to mud for the moment.

Most of the plastic clips on the quad headlights are broken, with the headlights practically falling out of the housing.

I've ordered a pile of new clips, but the exterior conversion is on hold.

If you are getting rid of the headlights let me know please.

My RH one is getting a little hazy and Kristo has two good ones, and I cant let him get away with that !!

It could be on the cards, as I was just thinking about either selling the 'Lane as a whole, or parting it.

How much would you be chasing for the entire fairlane?

And with the high beam bit, it's because it's a different relay. Swap it for a 5 pin relay and it'll be back to normal.

I paid $1500 for it, but I'd likely want to keep some stuff from it.

Dunno, what's it worth to you?

Apologies for dragging up an old thread, but I saw the pic of that silver wagon, and it looks very similar to one I noticed on facebook marketplace a few months back, seemingly having met it's sad fate, in someone's front yard in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. Asking a 1000 bucks.
