Does anyone know how many pins are actually in use on the 8 pin connector block on the series 2 GP headlights as on the 14 pin only 7 are wired?

Anyone??
Seven? but it became cheaper to buy the Eight pin connector not Fourteen?
My guess but good possibility. People certainly have switched between the pair when fitting S2/Abarth lights to an S1. Likelyhood is the wiring colors probably match too to make the job easier.

Thanks, do you know if it is possible to get hold of this 8 pin connector?
you mean the part that plugs into the headlight?
If so, my first port of call would be a scrappies with an S2 in, you could then take the connector and a short length of wire and use through crimps or bullet crips to connect the pairs up.
Your dealer may stock just the connector if your very lucky so you could wire the whole thing in properly. Its something ive never looked into myself.
Perhaps a convertor is available too, as im suspecting that Angel eyes etc need to fit both wiring sets so ebay??

yeah i do.
cheers mate thats great help, well i would ideally want to wiring it up properly so it would be best to get hold of the 14 pin connector block, theres not many GP in scrappies around me never mind S2, spose its worth a try at fiat, if not then srappies it is, il start with ebay though

Well, interesting bit of news I got earlier today from Fiat:
Yes, the socket just twists and comes out
. To get the socket fully out you unscrew the bar you can see in the pic to make enough room to come out where the bulb would come out. Then simply take your original S1 socket and solder appropriately. Looks like Fiat are just being awkward lol

i will try this in the next week or so, il let you know how i get on
I only know someone who accidentally bought S2's so sent them back and got S1's.
You get them cheap so have to do this?

Unless someone is selling a cheap set on ebay then a simple soldering job is a piece of cake! Especially if you've got both lamps side by side you'll be able to copy the layout from one to the other..

i can get S2 headlights for aroun £200, where as S1 are £360 from fiat, big difference in price
