exactly as the first post says to, unplug the box above the gas pedal, make up 4 8cm connectors, plug in as specified and voila! :)

My 1986 924S has seperate sidelights and the headlights only come up when the headlights are selected, if you turn off the headlamps but leave sidelights on then the pods stay up but they do not come up with sidelights only.

Is this an appropriate place to ask how do I keep my headlamps up with the ignition off so I can clean them without worrying about flattening the battery (i.e. no sidelights on)?
