We had an 01 import that got through 3 MOT's with those lights.............and it must surely have got through with them before if it's an 02?

I believe your problem is more than likely the sub-loom.

The sub-loom for the SVS K2 is different from the X,Y AND K1 . For some reason Suzuki decided it'll e a good idea to stick a different sub-loom onto the K2.

I've got one to sell if that is the problem......

Frosty, I'll try and be a bit clearer.....should also answer other post.

Basically The X,Y, and K1 use the same sub-loom and the K2 uses a completely different sub-loom.

Most breakers etc probably wouldn't know that so will just send a sub-loom for a Curvy thinking they are all the same.

I do know that a UK sub-loom off X,Y and K1 will fit into an Euro X,Y, and K1.

Working on the fact that Suzuki did change the sub-loom on the UK K2, it's reasonable to ahem assume they did change the subloom of the Euro K2 as well.

We could they conclude that since the Euro and UK sub-looms of X,Y, and K1 plug straight in, the same would apply to the UK and Euro K2s.

Haha after all that I guess I could have just said the the X,Y, K1 sub-looms won't plug straight for quick reply to your last question

Why not just look at the wiring diagram and hard wire it instead of faffing about with sub looms and such?
