Hi.
I have a similar problem to storm0105 in thread 296897-please-help-xenon-lights.html
I wanted to get "proper" HID's for the car and have bought OEM UK spec headlight units from eBay (sound familiar!?).
I have two questions for the forum.
1) Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the headlights HID and non-HID?
2) Can anyone identify the function of the parts inside an HID headlight (see below)
(Number 1)
First the major problem.... They are not plug and play (as the photos on the thread show) Does anyone have the pinout for the HID and the Halogen headlights?
Halogen have connectors which have 5 pins connected. the central line of 4 and one additional one. The connector itself has a single row of 4 pins and two pairs above and below, a total of 8 pins
HID's I don't know, but they appear to have two rows of 5 pins, with a pair of connectors above and below them. In total 14 pins.
The HID unit has a number of bits in it. On the base is the controller box, with the high voltage for the light.
(Number 2)
Inside the light there is the passenger count levelling unit (controlled from the dash with the + and - buttons - allows you to control for people in the car) and another controller under the light which I can't work out.
Any help appreciated... or I'll have to strip the light down and refit with "known" parts which is a royal PIA!
