so I bought these halo lights off ebay for my car, one of my headlights wasn't going up and Im not too found of the pop-ups anyhow, bad alignment, rattle a lot....

so I got these for a different look, not a lot of people have em, in fact I've only seen one other 240sx on the web with them......

now to the trouble, they came with wiring harnesses... with relays and all kinds of junk... I had em in a box, my brother through away the box like an *******, now I'm stuck, I inquired the seller about another wiring harness which he won't sell seperately.......

now my lights won't work and I cant drive at night

the lights have I believe 4 spades on the back of the housing.....

I believe the factory wiring harness has 3 wires........ now there must be a reason why they have relays and extra wires on them...

heres a pic of the lights and wiring harness they came with.......

what the F should I do? make a whole new wiring harness/relay/switch just for the lights? thats looking like what its comming down to....

anyone have these lights? if u do could u take some detailed pics of the wiring harness and maybe I could look at them and reverse engineer what all they do.........

also the wires u see on the back of the housings I believe are for the LED Halo rings... which I'm not too worried about and could care less.. I'm not into that ricey stuff.... I wouldnt mind if those arent even hooked up....

all in all i like these lights, they look real nice from the front.... defintely something different for cheap... it started off as a good option to repair a broken headlight motor and give the car a different look..... now its a nightmare

Follow the wires in your kit from the halos. 1 should have a male slide connector and the other a female slid connector connector, These are small and have a clear cover. I don't remember which on of these two has a wire that is stipped coming from it too,but plug the male and female together. The end that has been stipped at the factory goes to your original parking light wire. disconnect the plug from your headlites. there is a replacement plug with your kit . plug these into your head lights and another plug from your kit goes into the old head light plugs. there is a ground wire that needs to be attached to the car and you should be ready to go. You need to scew the relay to an out of the way location. If you have any more questions post it and I'll try to help
