Default 8 pin to 6 pin headlight conversion

Hey all, took the tint film off my headlights to find they have "grazing" underneath. It's the small cracks from heat build up. So ordering new headlights and so many choices! Lol. But I have a touting model with Hids and have the 8 pin connector. Every decent looking set I have found online has the 6 pin and clearly says "does not fit models with stock hid" so I'd like to know if anybody knows where I can get good smoked, halo/ led headlights with the 8 pin or I'll just convert mine. Haven't found a thread on it yet. But I'm sure somebody has converted it, I can probably figure out which wire goes to which but if anybody knows more details on the wiring schematic I would greatly appreciate it!!

You're going backwards.

Get the depo 06+ housings. They will be plug and play. Just gotta order new bulbs.

Yessir. The 6 pin was only on 03-05 cars with halogen headlights. The 03-05 cars with HID had the 8 pin too.

If you get a 06+ housing depin or cut the blue wire on the housing harness if you don't want the turn signals to light up with the marker lights. If you don't mind that then it's plug and play.

You'll need to get new turn signal bulbs and D2S HID bulbs for an 06+ housing. The little white marker light can swap across.
