Default 08 headlights wiring question!

Hey everyone, I need assistance with wiring please. I sat for a long time and something does not add up to me so I would really appreciate it!, I purchased this 08 350z well long story short daddy bought the car for the kid I purchased it through, car was not taken care of at all and it shows what type of brainless things they've done to it, after getting it to roll and drive nicely I am on to fixing things I don't like, for example I want to convert to the OEM lights this car came with and I have them in mint condition, they had the cheaper DEPO set in there with the 6 wires hardwired on, well I ordered myself the 8-pin connectors and here is how the car is currently sitting while I'm waiting on those! Please help me figure out which wire goes where on the connectors as I know each side has it's own pattern! Also what am I missing here why on earth could there be only 6 wires and not 8? Thank you in advance everyone, help me bring this baby back on the streets!

Driver side (LEFT)

Passenger side (RIGHT)

IIRC, the 6-pin connections were only on 03-05 models with the halogen setups. 03-09 with HIDs and 06-09 halogens are all 8 pin connections. So this car was either converted to 6-pin or there are wires that are tucked wayyy back in.

Hey thank you for the reply! So I looked at both those links and yeah they both help but not fully, so the link to the youtube video makes 100% sense to me but I am not trying to go that route! Link #2 is good to a CERTAIN extent, it practically showed me where the wires go in each pin on the Pigtail BUT that is only for one side of the car the other side has different wires and there is no more pictures or info about it! So all I am trying to do is either find the other side and plug in all 6 wires I have on a 8 pin for now and see what in all works or same scenario but I will dig to see where they cut off the other two wires which IMO are the SOLID black wires ( :
Thank you I hope someone can help me further as the 8 Pin pigtails came in today and I am off tomorrow so I hope to do this and bolt everything back up!

BUMP, after inspecting my own pictures and matching LINK two I've realized that the information is for the PASSENGER (Right) side of the car, so now I need the Driver (Left) practically!
