Hi guys, just about finished my bug eye to hawkeye facelift and it looks great! Now it's time to do the wiring for the headlights this weekend, the car is a 2001 wrx bug and it's now got 2007 Sti hawkeye headlights (hid). Spent the last hour searing with no real help. The bug has a 3 pin plug and a 7 pin plug, where as the hawk has the same 3 pin plug but a different 8 pin plug, I would like a list of wire numbers against what they do, this is what I have found for the hawkeye

HID HEADLAMP SYSTEM

Left (F125)
1 White / Black Stripe = high-beam ground [that flows to the high-beam relay and HID relay]
2 Black = ground to chassis for HID low-beam
3 Black = ground to chassis for front clearance lamp (City Light) & North American side-marker
4 Black = ground to chassis for turn-signal
5 Red / Blue Stripe = power high-beam
6 Red / Blue Stripe = power HID low-beam
7 Red / Yellow Stripe = power feed for front clearance lamp (City Light) & North American side-marker
8 Black / Green Stripe = turn-signal power

Right (F126)
1 Red = high-beam ground [that flows to the high-beam relay and HID relay]
2 Black = ground to chassis for HID low-beam
3 Black = ground to chassis for front clearance lamp (City Light) & North American side-marker
4 Black = ground to chassis for turn-signal
5 Blue / White Stripe = power high-beam
6 Blue / White Stripe = power HID low-beam
7 Red / Yellow Stripe = power feed for front clearance lamp (City Light) & North American side-marker
8 Light Green / Black Stripe = turn-signal power

Firstly can someone confirm this is correct? Looking at the new plugs in front of me it does, next does someone have a version of the above for the wrx bug lights please?
And lastly both lights have a second connector which is the same (3 pin) but I believe it does a different job, how do I go about this one?
Please can you make this as simple as possible as wiring is not my strong point at all!
Many thanks Jacob

Guys my uk300 had ****ty aftermarket headlights (creative auto) when i bought it and now I've managed to find a genuine set of uk300 headlights, however I have encountered a problem......

The old aftermarket headlights were put on and the original connectors were cut off. This means that the aftermarket lights were fitted by splicing into the wiring loom.

My problem now is that I want to install the uk300 lights back on to the car I need to cut the connectors off and splice and rewire these back on.
The problem is this is my first major wiring project and I can't find any information on what wire connects to what and what the said wires do.....

Please can anyone help?

I have not touched the drivers side yet but have looked at the passenger side. I will upload some pics in a few minutes

These are the creative auto lights that have come off the car


This is the state of the wiring loom from the above lights





My new lights passenger side so far....




Not sure what these connect to on the headlight side?





Think these are the leveling motor but not sure what colour they connect to loom side

do the standard uk 300 headlights have different bulbs for high and low beams like the lights you currently have?

Hi mate not sure what you mean?

The problem for me is all the loom side connectors are missing from the car but the uk 300 lights I want to fit have their connectors intact.....

But I'm not sure how to go about this I thought I might just cut the headlight connectors off and marry up the wiring colours would yhat be correct?
