well, I didn't take tons of pics, just one, but I think it was the most confusing part, hooking the parking lamps and turn signal in. here's how to do the harness:

sorry the pic is so large, I wanted you to be able to see clearly what I did

this is the passenger side setup, colors may be different on the drivers side:


another angle
you can see the yellow wire from the car connects to the brown wire on the housing, the green/white wire is connected to the red wire, for the parking lamps. the black wires from both are connected together, and then connected to the black wire from the housing


only ran into a few issues during the install.
The turn signal bulb sockets are different on the cedia housings, it is possible to temporarily use the old bulb, but I wouldn't suggest that long term.
And the mounting brackets/tabs on the top of the housing did not line up with the bolt holes on the car


overall the install took me just under 2 hours to do, with a couple breaks here and there. Be sure to take your time, check everything, solder the connections well, and heatshrink or tape the hell out of everything (no duct tape please *begs*)

so twardOZ...was the colors different on the drivers side?

btw...very nice job installing those lights! It's crazy how much those black headlights makes a huge difference on the appearance of the front end. I'll start up on mine soon as I get the parts.

Now take a night pic w/ those sexy Sylvanias...i'm gonna get those too!

I can't remember if the colors were different. I'd imagine they are though, and I'm not pulling out the headlight to look now, lol, that's the biggest pain is getting those things in and out when you aim them

maaan i'm having such a hard time putting these in...i got the parking lights and signal lights in...but the high/low beam lights, I don't know which wires goes to where !?

each side has 3 wires from the stock headlight housing...the right side has pink, black, red/white...the left side has pink, black, red/blue...

where do these wires go to?
