Question and possible answer to your lighting project. Are you looking to
have the high beams go on with the low beams? I'm pretty sure the way the
stock wiring is that the low beams go off when the high beams are switched
on.
Thats egzactly how i want it.. my problem is that 4 wires go to one bulb..
what wires control the High beam directly.. so that when you engage your high
beams they have power..
I'm pretty sure on my uncle's A-6 that the xenon low beams go off when the
high beams go on. So as long as the high beam projector pattern is good,
you can keep the stock wiring setup. I would however not use it to power
the new headlights, I'd set it up with a new relay wiring setup directly
wired to the battery.
Basicly I'm not doing this for myself.. Aperantly there is no way we of the
US are ever going to get really kewl parts for our cars.. so if i or anybody
else dosen't at least put an effort out to do this it'll never happen. My
plan is to make this COMPLETELY bolt on with little to no modification.. like
i said, i ripped out the whole lighting system to a 91 Subaru legacy.. when
i'm done all you'll have to do is add a adaptor and aim your lights..
I
am interested in this. How are they going to look, are they going to be
behind a lexan plastic piece or something like that, or are the projector
lights goin to be separate and sticking out?
I have a couple designs.. some very basic.. and some that will never make it
to production.. right now i'm just trying to make a mold so i can have a
fiberglass shop make me an original.. I will post my designs..and you can let
me know what you think..
I
'm possibly interested in a fiberglass turbo hood if you get enough people.
The big factor on all of these things is a little more time.
Well i will put you on the list.. if i get 5 interested people i will looking
to prices..

All the wiring does is complete a circuit through the light bulb fixture itself. So what you can do is take the plug off the light, turn the lights on, and use a test light or a test meter and just test each pin. There should be two grounds, and two 12v switched, one will be on for low beams, and one will be on for high beams. It's not exactly a super scientific method, but it works, and it will tell you what is what. As for the grounds, I don't see that it would matter which ground goes to what, they all go to the same place. Do make sure you are careful not to touch the other pins when you're testing, you could get a shock or blow a relay of fuse if you short the connection.
You want something fun to do, help a friend rewire her stereo, that someone else botched the install, and tore out all the labels for the speakers, so I didn't know what was what. I ended up using a test light and an ohm meter to EVERY speaker lead....was lots of fun
Give that a shot, let me know if you have any other questions or if that doesn't work.
