Hi I am retrofitting the stock light and came across these bare wires which seem to be looping the blue ? Any ideas ? Everything works so maybe join it properly  and leave ?

What about the socket near the centre? Has a black wire going in and a blue and black coming out. Should it be in there?

Has it pulled out of the socket?

It has deliberately been removed from block I think ?

Hi Dom

The two blue wires in your photo are correctly joined. They should be attached to a terminal and sit alongside the black wire in the 2-block connector shown in your photo.

I stripped back a loom to show how it all goes together and, yes, the dark blue wire is looped back in the loom, and gets its feed from the lighter blue wire.

The light blue wire provides a 12v source that is switched on the ignition so might have been a useful power source for the previous owner to run a GPS or whatever wink

The 2-pin connector is the feed to the analogue speedo back light. Do you not need it?

But, yes, basically you have a switched live (dark blue) and earth spare if you don't need the connector for the speedo.

Ah, so is that the feed for speedo light ? Because that isn’t lighting up ?

No need - none of the original terminals use solder biggrin

Well done anyways biggrinbiggrin

Did you just happen to have the correct spare terminal handy to use? Not something most owners have in their toolbox.
