Default HID, no HID

ok... heres the predicament, my headlights were spray tinted by a shop. i paid cash and when they came out screwed up they cleaned them with something that cracked the hell out of them. they accepted no responsibility due to the fact that i paid cash. so in return i bought a set of headlights and i went to put them in then realizing that they are not HID. so i have a new set of headlights with a six pin plug and my stock harness with eight pins... what to do. i dont care if i downgrade since im sure someone will take the HID's off me. anyone have any wiring diagrams or where i can find a harness? i know ill probably be hung out to dry for this post but im not sending the headlights back for a 45% restocking fee plus shipping... someone please help. i cant find anything on this.

You'll have to go aftermarket ballasts/bulbs... How much you pay for the halogen headlamps?

go to any Audio / Electrical Experts... ask them if they can splice it for you...

My old Z was a base model and I got a set of HID headlights and had my Audio guy splice the wires and it worked fine...
