HID Rewire

I need help, I have received my OEM Xenon headlights that I ordered on ebay, but the harnesses are not the same as the Halogen ones, anybody know how to wire the old Halogen harness to work with the Xenon's. Any pictures or other advice would be great, because the dealership techs will give me little to no advice.

In the service manual, the Xenon and HID wiring look the same. Nissan has two different harness number: Xenon is 26038-7Y110 $60. The headlight part numbers are also different between HID and Xenon. Did you get the entire headlight assembly? There may be a sticky on this retrofit.

Manual says you must remove bumper fascia to install. A good job.

Get service manual from:

yeah I bought the entire assembly, I just didn't know how to wire the lights using the existing Halogen harness. I'm gonna continue to research cuz I hate to waste money on the headlights.

The harnesses are different, but really only the male female connectors are reversed. You're going to either have to buy a new harness, or resplice male connector for the female one. I spliced em and wired the harness directly to the ballast. Works just fine. I've been meaning to post pics of this, but with the holidays and what not, haven't had the time to get into the bumper and all that.
