Cefiro headlight wiring

I need to know which color on the harness for the Cefiro one piece headlights goes with which color on the existing headlights. My low beam is actually high beam and my high beam is low so something is not wired correctly. Also does anyone know where I can get the adapter pieces for the turn signals and the smaller light underneath the headlight so I can splice them to the existing wiring? I bought them from a seller of here and they didnt send those parts. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

Cefiro headlight wiring

I found the other adapter piece that goes to the small light underneath the headlight but I still need the adaptors that connect the turn signals to the existing wiring. I have the piece that actually holds the bulb but not the wiring adapter.

An adapter for the corner lights? Fukk that, slice a tiny notch in the lights and stick them in, I didnt change the harnesses and havent had any problems

If your high beam is your low beam etc... its simple... switch them... Trial and error my friend.

not to be a d!ck or anything, but please do a search within this forum... many people have done write ups on Cefiros

I believe search functions are still disabled for us non-donating members, but the FAQs are available and seem to be an untapped resource lately.

Yes, you do not need to have the stock cefiro connector for the turn signals. The stock one will fit in there just fine with a little modification. I use a exacto knife to cut mine to fit.

The "city light" or as you refer to the smaller bulb next to the headlight can be spliced into the stock wiring.

For you high/low beam problem you simply have those wires reversed.

I think they are 194, they are the same ones that go in the speedoemter cluster, if 95-97. And the same ones that go in the door light.

Okay I got the 194 bulbs and they don't fit. Is there some kind of modification needed for them to fit the Cefiro adapter? Also, when do they actually work? Right now I've got the stock harness in the Cefiro housing (which it doesn't exactly fit but I've got it stuffed in there) I've turned on my parking lights and headlights and I never see the "city light" bulb light up. Is it during the turn signal or what?

Are the city lights even really necessary?

Even if you go through the last ten pages or so, I am sure there is someone asking about Cefiro lights.

The only time i see my city lights are when i remote start my car, flash with my turn signals. They are useless lights that you should really worry about.
