C5 conversion from left to right hand drive Hi all, finally got my C5 back to Australia and converted from left to right hand drive.
There are a few small electrical problems though, which is not surprising given the amount of wiring that would have to be relocated.
When the headlights are activated, they either close or open no problems, but after either the closing or opening, there is a loud noise from the left headlight which continues for about 10 s. It sounds like the electric motor is still trying to either close or open the light lid after the operation has already been completed. Anyone else experienced this problem?
Also, once activated, the windscreen wipers do not switch off unless you switch of the ignition. Anyone encountered this?
Thanks
Russ
