Help! Splicing wires for headlights?
Help! Splicing wires for headlights?
I recently just bought headlights from depoautolights.com, but after taking apart my car, I find that the headlights are made for European cars? Therefore the plugin for the main light is different....
Is there a way that I can make these headlights fit to the stock car? you can see the end of the plug of the new headlights here: http://depoautolights.com/mitsubishi...112892ef819b68
If not any fix to getting these headlights in?

I'd recommend against messing with the stock harness, just in case you want to go back to stock or sell the car.
If you can fit some crimp-on spade connectors over the terminals on that plug, you could try making an adapter harness out of a couple old 9007 bulbs.
I just did something very similar to control my hi/lo HID kit.
EDIT: Something like this plug:

and this plug:

and three short pieces of wire connecting them.

thanks for the reply! so i ended up starting to splice the parts... its a long weekend so this is temporary until i can find parts to make the harness...
the stupid thing is that ALL the plugs dont fit (including parking/signal lights) therefore I have to change the cord ends on my car and new headlights to make them fit...

I plan on keeping my car until it's beyond repair. I still haven't hacked any of my wiring beyond a 10-second return to stock.
