Post Headlight Swap

Puchase the euro 4 buld euro headlights. I removed my sealed oblong shape but wiring doesn't up. Is there a kit? can someone please tell me step by step how to do it? I have the mounts and bezels. No wiring.

Thank you,

Evan

If your talking about going from the Euro single headlight to the quad lights like the earlier American headlights, the wiring is the same, except the lack of the thin red wire which feeds a small bulb that the later cars had. The connectors are different though. When I put 84 XJS quads on my 95 XJS, I cut the connectors off both and added spade connectors. The color coded wires matched up perfectly. I simply taped the end of the small red wire. It'll make the "bulb out" warning light on your dash stay on though. Guess you could put a small bulb on that wire if you like. Hope this helps!

Just re-read your post, if your missing the wiring harness to the new set, you should be able to match the wiring connecting locations by looking at the back of your old light.
