It's pretty straight forward. If the connectors don't connect, flip it around and it should connect. MK1 don't seem to have any issues only MK2 with hyperblinking problem.

I would say to make sure you put the light in exactly how the stock came out. Seems trivial, but I wasn't paying attention, and tried to install left-hand side of LED, then right side (driver light). The proper way is to install it "horizontally" in one swoop. Also may need to adjust the car bracket the LED light screw fastens to. Good luck, and be sure to post pics when done.

For me it was plug-n-play. Have 2004 C2 (40th) - red/clear - all lights work, no hyper blink. Took me about an hour. I didn't cut the usused parking light bulb wire, taped the opening and taped the bulb to the housing to keep it from rattling. I think they look great.

No hyper blinking with my Mk2 (2004 C2) so there must be some other variable that's causing the problems.

Well you can tell from post of 90 minutes ago I was feeling pretty good about this - easy install, no hyper blink and the lights look great...but all my testing was done with ignition on. When I started the engine I got PSM Failure and ABS Failure. Went for a drive and cycled the engine on/off 4 times still same problem (but the lights work flawlessly) - any suggestions??

I got the PSM failure and ABS failure also but it was hyperblinking. Did you buy smoked or clear?

Just speculation on my part but I would guess that the PSM Failure is triggered by the ABS Failure which is cause by something (notice the technical term) electrical in the brake light. BTW, the two failure lights come on when the engine is started not when the brake pedal is pushed the first time.

Does the light go away when you put the stock ones back on?

my light went away after the stock ones were put back on. It didn't do it the first time I installed it but I don't think I installed the wiring correctly the first time.

99 C2, non litronic. Hyperblink with lights on only. Tried several HD flasher and result was different everytime.

No PSM or ABS issues. Emergency flasher seems ok - with ot without lights on.

LED flasher on order. BTW, smoke/red

Replaced LED with stock lights - ABS and PSM warning went away.
