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!

 

what year and trim model are you running? which style of headlights are you going to (HID vs. standard??) I can get a pic pretty easy for you...

 

Does this help - this was off my 03 touring w/HIDs OEM headlight setup ... dont thank me, thank Matthew Bouchard...

 

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!

 

Yes! This is exactly what I needed, you're a life saver! Been looking everywhere and couldn't find anything, thank you so much!

 

Disregard this reply lol

 

For sure ... this is my passenger side. I did not look at my driver side but I will here later on today if you need me to.

Anything else just ask

 

Hey man! i'm fixing the same problem only difference is that its on the Driver side. by any chance you got pictures??

 

Let me see what I can come up with ...

 

this was so clutch thank you!

 

BRO
That wiring sheet saved my ***. Thank so much brother!!!!! Pin 4 to Ground & Yellow to Green & White! HELL YEAH!!!!!

 

Hello,

is the driver side diagram different?

 

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

 

Do you have a picture of the drivers side?

I noticed mines has 4 red wires 3 blacks 1 green ? I need help with an aftermarket female connector.

This is my drivers side the connector broke

 

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

 

It is a 2004

 

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 -

 

Thank you

 

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
