Default 8 pin headlight connector?

I've looked everywhere online and through other forum threads for this, a previous owner of my car purchased aftermarket headlights and cut off the pigtails, both on the back of the headlight itself, and the pigtail on the engine bay wiring harness. I'm attempting to fix this, I have purchased new female 8 pin connectors to connect to the engine bay wiring harness, and am going to buy all new headlight assemblies. My problem is that the wires on the new pigtails are not the same color as the factory wires that have been cut, if anyone has a picture of their factory headlight plug that shows the colors of the wires and which pin location they are in, I would greatly appreciate you sharing it with me, thanks!

The car is a 2003 base, so I'm pretty sure it had OEM halogens, but it currently had HID's that a previous owner spliced and hardwired into the car, i have purchased new 8 pin connectors as I'm planning on getting new HID's although i would appreciate having a picture of wire color order on a factory 6 pin as well just in case I wind up just putting halogen lights back in, which I'm considering, just reverting it all back to OEM and then going from there, so if you have a picture of 6 pin connector (connected to the chassis) that would be great, thanks!

The driver's side wire colors may be different, but the pin locations will be the same.

Connectors are available but the pin locations need to be correct. What year is your Z?

I think this should work for you:

1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8

1: red/yellow - headlamp high +
2: green/white - turn signal +
3: black - turn signal/parking/side marker -
4: black/white - headlamp high -
5: red/blue - side marker +
6: red/blue - parking +
7: red/black - headlamp low/HID +
8: black - headlamp low/HID -

Hi so i tried this set up on my 03 and i found out that my turn signal is purple/white on the chasis not red or black. I used a test light and it flashes on purple, ive tried every combination of cables and cant get any other lights to work only the turn signal, am i doing something wrong?

I need help with the paper u wrote on with the 8pin headlight wiring. I don’t understand what I did wrong. Nothing works but my high beams on the passenger headlight. This is how I wired it up
