Question I bought the wrong headlights...
The new headlights have one plug, and my truck has two plugs. I thought I could just rewire them. I'm finding that it's not as easy as I thought. has anybody done this before, or is it even possible? Also the schematics in the Haynes aren't very helpful.
I sure would appreciate any advice.
Than You, Nod

Have no idea Nod. Dont even know what vehicle you are working on. Have you thought about sending them back and getting the correct ones?

The aftermarkets are ONE piece and factory are 2 pieces. Is the extra plug for your park lamp? Pics would be nice.

Default No. The running lamps would be a third plug.

Let's see the front...and the box with the manufacturer and model number.

Gimme the year model of the truck. I'll look into it later.

You bought projectors with halo lights. There should be a hole for your park lamp bulb and headlamp bulb and sockets to go back in. The halos and LEDs are wired up different.
