Headlights 6 pin to 8 pin


Destin

Recommended Posts

Hello. I've got 2003 Zed, it has xenon lights. It's a JDM import so it has 6 PIN. I bought left xenon headlight from ebay(due to accident it was crashed), and it has 8 pin. It says that it fits 2002-2006 so it's not bi-xenon. How should I connect it? Have anyone got diagram which could help me?

 

Thank you,

Damian.

You're a lucky boy, I've been doing this research myself lately, mine's going in tomorrow (I;m having a pro do the splicing though, and I'm going the other way, I'm going FROM 6 to 8 pin. Worth mentioning there is no need to cut anything, the connector blocks can be disassembled and the entire pins moved from one block to another, for a very neat final result.

 

You'll need the 6 pin off your old headlight, but basically, the following info seems to be complete, taken from the US forum. Also, be aware that in the Haynes manual there is a full wiring diagram.

 

Let me know how you get on...

 

You will cut the 8 pin off the head light... that will leave you with 7 wires

 

Red Fat - Positive to ballest.

Black Fat - Negative to ballest

Skinny black - Common Ground for accesories lights

Light Green - Positive High beam actuator

Green/White Stripe - Positve for 4LEDs and corner running light

 

That leaves solid blue and solid green... which runs to the same bulb. One is a running light(on when the headlights are on) and one is a brighter blinker. I forgot which is which but i dont use the running light. You can, but i think it looks cleaner without it. Power a 12 volt source to black and blue or green to tell which one is brighter. Also, i think because i disconneted one it made my blinker blink fast... but i kinda liked... helps since i switch lanes so fast

edit (blue is the blinker + , i didnt use solid green.)

 

Now.. your 6 pin harness... cut that off your old headlight... leave as much wire as you can.

 

You will have:

Red - Low beam positive ..... goes to Fat Red- powers ballest

Black - Low beam negative - goes to Fat Black powers ballest

Light blue - high beam +... goes to light green - high beam actuator

Green/black stripe - Blinker +... goes to green or blue... whichever is brighter.

Green/White - Running light... goes to Green/White

Skinny black - common ground to skinny black

 

 

8 Pin--------------6 Pin-------------------------Function

Fat Red------------Fat Red-------------------- Ballest +

Fat Black----------Fat Black-------------------Ballest -

Skinny Black-----Skinny Black---------------Common Ground

Green/White -----Green White---------------LED/Corner running lights

Green Black------Nothing or Green/White -- Blinker running light

Light Green ------Light Blue------------------High beam +

Blue/Black--------Green Black---------------Blinker +
