Upgraded wiring harnesses

Ok so I bought an upgraded headlight wiring harness and I am having a little bit of trouble installing them. There is one plug that I cannot find out where it goes to. Can anyone tell me where the mate for this plug is at?

yah i installed this the other day, that part connects to the stock wiring harness thats where it gets its turn on signal, ur high beams will no longer work the normal way when this is installed, and the high beam light will probably be on very dim as if one bulb was blown out since one of the harnesses will no longer be connected to a bulb, i used the driver side harness to attach to this upgraded harness, let me know what happens after u get it all installed and let me know which harness u used to attach it too. if u can maybe try the passenger one and see if there is any difference with the high beams thing, like if maybe the high beams work normally, which i dont think they could.

oh and i think this harness does a good job in providing more current to the higher wattage bulbs, these look much sharper and brighter on the road than the stock bulbs as i compared them to a stock gxe tonight.

I used to have the Nokya Upgraded harnesses and they did the job FOR A WHILE.

Evidently the wiring harnesses go bad later on. Im not sure what the explanation they give, but it still goes bad.

the wiring is much thicker, allowing hotter (higher wattage bulbs) to be installed safely without worrying about burning/melting wires

ps
does anyone know where i can get real 110/120 watt bulbs, not the 45/65 looks like 110 - 120 crap?

im trying to say that i hate you nismos. but realistically, look at how thick the gauge is of that wire, thicker than many many appliances and stuff, running AC 120. even the gauge i use for lighting/sound equipment that does 240+ doesnt need to be that thick, and is still efficient. just keep the lengths short. no beef, just saying (the way of the buddha...even though im white)

i hear u, i hate u too. i think the wiring is a lil thicker than it should be because of the length it has to run to each side of the car. the guage is probably about 14 or so, its not THAT thick, i think ur being decieved by the vinyl covering the individual wires, its not like 4 guage wire its a bunch of thinner wires in that sleeve.
