Need to wire the hawkeye headlights into the Blob loom. These looks to he HIDs as there are what appears to be ballasts on the bottom of both units.

Had a search and a look online, one of the connectors I have has a yellow wire with a black stripe and I haven't been able to find anything that mentions this colour... Hence I'm asking for help.

Thank you Don! Now, if only I could work the actual colours out from that I can't match some of them up to some of those codes, doh.

Don Clark

Colour codes used for RHD UK/European/Aus models



If anything is JDM or possibly LHD it could be different.

Hawkeye Headlight levelling is not included so maybe some of the wires for that.

You're a font of knowledge Don, thank you!

OK I'm struggling to decipher these. My car is a 53 plate so guessing wiring colours may be different? Even so, something I'm struggling with a bit is the Blob uses a main 6 pin connector doesn't it? (I got the car without headlights so can't look at the Blob ones for reference)

So on the diagram that suggests only 4 wires are for the high and low beams. Does that mean the other two are for sidelights? And indicators are a separate plug? Or vice versa?

I also don't see a 6 pin plug listed on that blob diagram and I'm struggling to figure out where the wires meet the 8 pin plug on the hawkeye diagram...

As it's a 53 plate it is more likely a MY04 but looking at the various wiring diagrams the wiring and colour coding seem much the same through the MY03-05 years (unless it's JDM)
Headlights Low and High beam use the grey and black 2 pin connectors.
The black(with some brown rust?) 3 pin connector (bottom left, being for clearance light and turn signals.

That's a big help, cheers. Could you possibly post the same list of connectors for the Blob too?

OK, it would appear that the plugs on my car match up to these headlights:



Which appear to be JDM Xenons. Not what I was expecting. I got it with the Hawk front wings and front panel already on. Thought it was a non Xenon UK car. Not fully sure how to rewire yet but I think I'm starting to get a handle on it. Just not sure how to get the levelling motors connected yet but I'll get there. Hopefully.

One I figure out which wire does what in the Hawk plug, I should be able to make some progress.

stockcar

only Hawk STi UK cars had Xenon from memory........ some JDM cars had from circa 2003

if its a UK car then it will have a 17digit VIN whereas a JDM car would have a9 digit VIN

Need to find the vin plate actually... He took it off to paint the bay The plugs on the wiring certainly match up to those lights I posted though.

Don Clark

The VIN should be stamped into the bulkhead but if it's been painted maynot be visible....

stockcar

you have massive problems if its not visible even after painting IMO...........

Yeah bulkhead one is there. UK car...

Anyhow, thunk I've cracked it, albeit haven't attempted the headlight leveling plugs...
