Aftermarket headlight installation help

[kashiav007]

Hi everyone, I'm the newest member to this community. I'm working on replacing my OEM headlights with Halo projector headlights I don't know from which manufacturer (junkyard) but I think they are raxiom, they don't look like raxiom when I look at the wiring because online wiring pictures of these headlights from behind are different.

So I need help with wiring them. Here's a picture of the headlight it has 2 main lights (high and low beam) that I'm able to turn on when plugged in. However the halo and projector do not work.

The wiring behind the headlights look as in the third picture attached and the wiring on the car looks as the second picture (passenger side). Can someone please help how to wire these lights.

Rather than messing with those why don't you consider going with a better setup?

If you are going to use them anyway you'll need a 12v source to do testing. You could use your battery. A better option is to use something like a trickle charger (can be found at auto store/Harbor Freight) or a motorcycle battery works well. Pick up some test leads w/alligator clips on both ends so you can clip them to the trickle charger leads and the lights you wish to test. For testing purposes Black is usually ground while Red & White are normally positive (for the lights shown). Also recommend using a VOM (Volt/Ohm meter) to check connector pins to understand which ones have voltage on them for parking and headlights Low/High. If you can't get the lights to work (Projector; Hi beam; marker lights) with a 12vdc source they're bad. You'll either have to figure out if you want to try using an LED replacement or go for a different setup. Either way, it's a bit of hassle but doable if you're willing to invest the time and expense.

Here's the wiring diagrams for the connector side of the car:

Yep, you're going to have to figure out which wires on the headlights do what and then wire them in individually. The issue you have is that we use a single bulb for low and high beam and your new set up uses two. The other issue is the halo. We don't have separate DRLs so you'll have to figure that out.

Those are color-changing halos, and there's usually a controller (usually handheld) inside the car. Without that, you're going to have a problem.

I know it's not the answer you want, but I'd chuck them and buy a new set instead.
