Hugh, when it's a little warmer and lighter outside I'll see what I can do about wiring, as I've said before, I want to get mine working in my current 360. Although all the wiring is there, there's something wrong. But I can't remember if they removed the foglight wiring or not. As for a winder motor, I know I need to rob one from my spares cars for the one I plan to restore, so can't help there I'm afraid.

do you know if the motors are same for either side?

the wiring i can do - for some reason this kit from halfords just doesnt appear to make the lgihts light up

Hmm, sounds odd with the lights. Not sure about the window motors, I would imagine they are handed though to fit the correct way up and onto the door.

Hugh.... How have you got it wired? From what I remember, yellow to lights, red via fuse to battery, black to earth and blue to switch (active high) each light also needs an earth.

The switch from what I can remember has the "common" terminal to +12, and then the switch bulb to earth, other terminal to blue wire.

hi mate

i'm trying to wire it to the origional volvo switch, which afaik should work as simple on-off (not dependant on the lighting circuit is it?)

so the switch is wired from blue -> ground.. let me know if thats wrong

I know that the original switch is dependant on the headlights being switched on! So I'm not sure if that is to do with the wiring, or if the switch requires this however they are wired.
