Can someone identify the wiring going to my headlight socket in the pics below? This is on a 2003 Maxima.
I was guessing positive/negative on the sockets with only 2 wires but unsure on the socket with 3 wires. Then I was thinking maybe the bulbs are grounded in the headlight casing itself?

Orange Socket goes to blinker/clearance light:
Green = + (?)
Black = - (?)

Gray Socket goes to low beam:
Blue = + (?)
Black = - (?)
Pink/Yellow = ??

Black Socket goes to high beam:
Blue/White = ??
Pink = ??

Sorry for the noobish question...I couldn't find anything regarding the sockets themselves on a 2002/03 specifically.




Thank you in advance,
Jeff

 

Bumping for the experts off from work crew.

 

I will add comments onto your "chart". The info is from pages EL-44 and EL-84 of the 2003 FSM.

Orange Socket goes to blinker/clearance light:
Green = + (?) 12 volts from flasher unit. FSM says yellow stripe on wire.
Black = - (?) direct to ground. I am not sure that I have properly identified this connector. FSM only shows turn signal lamp on this connector.

Gray Socket goes to low beam:
Blue = + (?) 12 volts from headlamp relay
Black = - (?) direct to ground, but FSM shows a yellow stripe on the wire.
Pink/Yellow = ?? 12 volts for parking lamp. FSM shows red/yellow wire. Lamp is connected to ground inside the headlamp & uses the black/yellow wire.

Black Socket goes to high beam:
Blue/White = ?? ground through headlight switch on steering column.
Pink = ?? 12 volts from headlamp relay

The pics were small sorry if it's hard to read. I wrote the terminal designations (1,2, etc, they're layed out as pictured)

 

If you have an 02-03 that's HID....What problem are you having? blowing fuses....etc?

 

Umm...aftermarket lights. Just making sure on the wiring.

 

Thank you Dennis and Tuner for the descriptions...

 

NP let us know how you make out!
