Ok I'm pissed now.

I changed my ballast and ignitor today and the d@mn headlight still won't work. Can someone tell me if the connectors on the back of the headlights should look like this? Should there only be 7 pins instead of 8?

Any others suggestions outside of replacing the whole assembly?

I'm sorry you're having this much trouble. I agree with your suspicion regarding the connector on the left. It appears to my eye that there is a small hole where an 8th pin 'should' be - as if that pin is missing. I've never taken mine apart so I can't confirm that. Have you checked the female connector to see if it has a hole where that pin would connect or to see if that pin is indeed stuck inside the female end?
I'm hoping that if you're right, that male connector is available separatetly so you can switch it out.

I see the holes in both connectors where pins could be, but I agree with Larz that you need to check the female end to see if there is even a hole, because lots of electronic connectors have double-keys (in this case, one key would be the missing pin and the other key being where the clip attaches to hold the connector together). Unfortunately, lots of connectors also ignore one of those keys, so I wouldn't say there are definitely missing pins just because the female end does have holes (if there is a pin stuck in the hole like he suggested, the connector is definitely broken, but otherwise, I see lots of connectors that only match to one of the two keys designed for their connection). Unfortunately, I haven't taken mine apart either, so I can't help you beyond that. However, I would think someone should, and I'd recommend trying to change your subject to something someone with appropriate experience would be inclined to read and help with. Or, perhaps you changed the ballasts due to a previous post and you should post the OP from this thread in that thread where people who have probably worked on theirs have responded and potentially subscribed.

Having pins "missing" on connectors ia more common than just that instance. Chances are your wiring is just fine...your connections dont look corroded at all. Its like having a square 4-pin connector that only has 3 pins because you only have 3 wires...sometimes you just dont need all of the wires, and in this case are they going to make a funky looking connector with only 7 pins? Not likely, so they omit one pin. BUT its worth a shot to check the female end and see.
