Can't pull the picture out, but here it goes:
"Reason for required change: As most Catera owners know the vehicle was made in Germany, and has a close relative the Opel Omega. These lights were intended for the Omega and the wiring is slightly different.

TO THE DRIVER SIDE ASSEMBLY ONLY (L)
– NO CHANGE is needed to the passenger side assembly.


back side of fixture

First locate the wiring that will need the change (A) the brown wire for the low beam, and (B) the gray wire for the light socket that is not used**.

Cut the brown wire (A) about 3-4” from the grounding connector, then cut the gray wire (B) about 1-1/2” from the unused light socket.

The gray wire (the end that leads to the factory socket pin) run the cut end through the fixture to the brown wire with the grounding connector. (It is also good ideal to run through the sleeve going to the low beam)

Using a split butt connector (not provided) join the brown grounding connector wire and the gray wire. Using some electrical tape, tape up the unused wire ends.

You are finished.

** The small light socket is not used on the Catera. It does not provide any additional lighting benefit or reduction. (Though it is there for those whom like doing custom lighting)"

English isn't his primary language. I think he means he can ship them as a favor. I could be wrong but that's my take.

The parts for our cars are so rare and hard to get, we have to help each other out. Why not start up on the other Caddy groups and police them. I've watched them post and sell things that can be picked up anywhere, in bulk! Those are the folks who should be posting classifieds!

if he just wants to act as a shipper from europe to over here as a courtesy to our members that will be fine. the members can order the lights from the company and this user can ship, just so he makes no profit.

[gunther1000]

Wow, thats likely... How many perfect strangers will do anything for anyone with no profit? Why stop the guy from making a few dollars? no big deal...

[Army_MP_From_MO]

It's no wonder that folks are gravitating to a different Catera owner forum
