LP640 tail lights conversion on Murcie

I did LP640 lights conversion on my 2003 Murcie. Posted this in other forum, however i think it might be helpful also here for someone who think about this.

Personally i dont like the strandard Murcie tail lights. Seems to me as big mistake from Lamborghini they introduced them in 2002. Solution is black/smog them, however i dont like this neither. So i went for this conversion and i am more than happy with result.

Below basic info and pictures. Basically it means 2 big issues - 1. Cut part of original inside bodywork (not visible) 2. Rewire the lights

1.Cutting bodywork
After removal of original light (picture 1), its neccessary to cut original holder + cut also some bodywork. I used standard tools i have home like grinder,rasper.... 2nd picture shows cut original holder + marked area which has to be cut as well.

3th picture shows all cut. I just did not cut the small lip on the left side. This bodywork must be cut because the LP640 light has different shape, different bigger edge and due to this bigger edge it just does not fit without cuting. And now the problem. I went too far and cut also area which is visble after you install the lights back. I marked it red on the picture. Be careful, dont go so far and cut only the line which is marked blue. I had to refix it and local paintshop is going to repaint this small part. Its not big deal but just dont repeat my mistake.

2. After you do the cut, light fits just perfect, another picture shows it. I did not feel necessary to produce the new holder since IMO the light is tighted like hell using the existing bolts. Its also holded by its edge and car body. I was not able to move it at all so i decided not to go for the holder. At least for now. I will be watching it and i if see any problem, i will produce and put also the supporting bracket. So its uo to you.

2. Rewiring of connection.
Original light has 6 pin connector while new LP640 light 9 pin connector - this has to be rewired.

I cut the 6 pin connector from original light and putted it on new 640 light. Very easy job if you know how to proceed. Below pictures and basic info.

Using voltmeter or similar device is neccessary to check which wire is what (like brake,reverse,turn.....) and make scheme on paper. One scheme for original 6 pin connector,second for LP640 9 pin connector. Reason why there is 9 pins on new LP light compare old 6 pin is that there is 3 x ground (compare 1 ground on old light) and 1 additional wire for main light. To make it even more easy, below is exact description which color is what so you dont need any device or scheme.

Old light 6 pin
red/blue wire = fog light
red wire = reverse
black wire = ground
green / blue wire = turn light
green wire = brake
green/white light = main light

old light small 2 pin for side light
purple (connected to green/white coming to 6 pin) wire = main light
black (connected to black coming to 6 pin) wire = ground

New LP640 9 pin
3 x black wire = ground
blue wire = fog light
brown wire = main light (5W)
green wire = reverse
white wire = main light ( 2 x 3W)
red wire = brake
yellow wire = turn light

Than you just cut both connectors and put (using sockets) old 6 pin on the new light. 3 black gounds coming from light are connected to one black ground on 6 pin and 2 main lights are connected one one pin of 6 pin main light. Simply just follow the colours according above description and you can not miss.

Than you just add tha small 2 pin for tha side light and job is done.

First picture is new LP640 light with connected old 6 pin (cutted 9 pin is marked). Second picture more detail. Third picture is finished job also with added 2 pin connector for side light.

3. Last pictures show the work done. IMO its just amazing and worth any penny/work. Its huge difference and absolutely no difference compare original LP640. Its not possible to recognize anything,it fits perfect. Also the lights work well so rewiring described above is correct.

For those who will go fo it, hope this helps.

Thanks guys, i am very happy with the look.

Not neccessary go for exhaust, i have already Capristo on the Murcie

These lights are stock OEM LP640 lights. They are basically same overall size as standard Murci lights.

Thats great. Did you go for original Lambo bumpers,skirts or some aftermarket copy? I mean i am happy with the car now, just did not like the standard lights. Checked prices of rest LP640 bodyparts and they cost fortune......

 

I thought they are Premier ones, at least they fit standard Murcie much easier and looks great. The Premier front just suck IMO. Damn, all OEM parts - so looks like you spent few bucks

 

Jon, i did not put the rubber seals back at all. The LP640 lights have different outer edge and seems to me that the seals dont even fit, actually there is no space for them. The LP lights fit just perfect, can not imagine to put there additionaly the rubber seals. If you fit original Murcie lights, there is visible gap and space for the seals but with LP lights due to different edge there is nothing, they sit on body and make perfect line.

 

thats about the price i paid from eurospares.co.uk pretty good price imo concerning the rest of LP640 body parts
