adapter for 03-05 headlights
So I made a little mess up. I bought some headlights off of e-bay and when they arrived, i modded them and painted them. Well when I went to install them, I have HID's in my car and the ones I wanted to put in are halogens. dont quite fit up to the quick disconnect plug. Do they make such an adapter to go from a 8 prong plug to a 6 prong plug. I just want to get them in there for a short period of time so I can mod my HID's. If someone could tell me what the wires are to each prong. That will also be very helpful.
Thank ya much,
Sammie B.

The aftermarket ones you got are halogen bulbs... there are no reverse adapters that i'm aware of to take a D2R HID bulb and make it fit a H7 or something halogen socket. Not only that but the light source would probably be in the wrong location and you would have the wrong output pattern and cutoff focus.
I'd just buy some aftermarket HID bulbs to fit the halogen housings you got, and get a aftermarket to OEM hid adapter cable.
As for the harness... i'm not sure, hopefully you can just swap harnesses as bbs350z suggested.

Here is a possible way to convert the headlight socket. I believe these directions are for converting the halogen light socket to the HID socket. You might be able to reverse the diagrams and make it work. Replace the asterisks with *********.
