    HI Bill,

    Do you know if one could rewire the socket of a 2008 afs xk150 headlight to function with a non afs plug+wiring?

    I have a buggered r headlight (internal plastic broken).

    I purchase a set of headlights last spring, they are in fabulous condition but they are afs type.

    It would be great if I could reposition some of the connectors and get them functioning (as non fsa).

    I believe the socket/plug are the same on both types.

    Thanks for any insight.

    I have a 2005 type 3.0 automatic that the car suddenly did not start, the mechanic changed the starter. When I tried turning the car on, it not start again so I took the battery to autozone and the car started fine. Now the car seems to have an electrical issue, it get to about to stall but it does not, it also drives as if the engine has no power or it is forcing itself to something. This happens at all speeds and also the lights get dim. Any help would be appreciated.
