Hey,

There's a guide on another forum telling how to rewire your rear cluster connectors to work with 9n3 lights. However when I tried it last year, I found it near impossible to get the terminals out of the connectors as have a few other members.

I managed to get around this by contacting a german vendor on eBay, who at the time charged over 25 Euros to send some adapters. Then again, these turned out to be for LHD clusters so they didn't work right, but striping the adapters and using my trusy soldering iron I sorted it out in the end :D

I think I may have found the parts needed to make these adapters and don't think it'd cost that much if parts were bought in batches.

Would there be any interest in these if I were to make a batch? This would making swaping lamps over plug and play.

Depending on interest, I'd research into the matter more ad come up with a definite price. Can't see it being more than a tenner posted.

I don't see why I wouldn't be able to do this for 6n2 rear clusters if you had a 6n polo and wanted a plug and play option (like you wanted to return the car to stock later).

All opinions welcomed.

Ash :)

Sounds like a good idea, but are you sure the 9n lights fit straight in without any modding?

Other than re-wiring ofcourse.

Because, dont the 6n2 lights need a bit of plastic trimming before they`ll fit in a 6n?

Hello,

Yes, I'm aware the 6n2 clusters need trimming to fit. However, the 9n3 clusters are a straight swap bar the wiring. I've done them myself :)

This is my 2003 9n:

Do you mean to get the 6n2 lights to go into the 6n and the 9n3 lights to go in the 9n?

If you do, it isn't very clear what you mean tbh, because you said put the 9n3 lights in, what sounds like into a 6n but then you've got picture of your 9n.

Sorry to sound padantic. :-)

Yeh...you pretty much worded what i was thinking.....

There's no way them lights will fit on a 6n surely, they're the wrong shape :?
