Ok.. I've spent 2 days searching through threads on the forum in regards to instructions for splicing the OEM Wiring harness. In my case, specifically the 1157 socket pin out. The socket itself is different than the OEM socket, obviously, and because of this, I'm not sure which pin is which. I'm trying to avoid buying an electrical tester just to find out.

Can people who actually own the Cefiro head lamps, specifically who had to create their own harness for the 1157 / corner bulbs give some input?

Also save yourself the headache, don't order from Depoautolights. I only ordered from them since they were cheap and also mentioned that they would send the harness + instructions with the Headlamps but they didn't.

I was able to use my stock harness and socket. They plugged right into the headlights.

So you had to grind down one of the notch holes on the head lamps to fit them in?

I didnt have to do any modification at all. Since the I30's corner lights are the park and signal lights they just plugged right in. I may be pulling my lights off in a little while, so I'll see about taking a look and snapping a pic for you.

Actually I just went ahead and wired them up, had to blow a fuse but I had plenty of 7.5 fuses. But now.. the corner/1157 bulbs do not stay lit when I turn on the parking lights, they only blink... I still have to add the wedge/194 bulbs so I'm thinking that some how because there isn't wedge bulbs in the sockets right now, that it's causing the corner lights to not light up when the parking lights are activated.

But not sure at the moment.

EDIT: None of my parking lights are turning on, not even the rear now.

Ok after further inspection, the tail fuse under the steering column was blown. I replaced it with another 7.5, then turned parking lights on, and instantly my instrument panel lights go out, and finally none of my parking lights turn on, the front and rears are off.

I then pop the hood and examined the tail fuse, and that was also blown. I turn off the parking lights, replace that fuse, and again turn the parking lights on, which then causes the fuse underneath the steering column to blow again. But now the instrument panel turns on.

Head lamps still turn on without any issues, hi/low works fine. When I pump the brakes, the tails light up, when I hit the turn signal, both rear and front blink but faster than normal.

I have a short of some sort or there's a wire being pinched, which I assume is coming from the corners that I just wired today. I'll have to wait til' tomorrow / sunlight, to unhook the wires from the corners, and attempt to install both fuses again and recheck parking lights at least in the rear while I figure something out with the corners.


Also it just came to my attention that my cigarette lighter is getting constant power even without the starter turned to at least ACC and with the keys out of the starter.
