Stock Halogen to Stock HID Wiring Diagram or Adapter.
Hey guys, how's everyone doing. so I found a 8 in the junk last week and I took out couple parts including a stock HID headlights with one big fat 8 pin connector harness but my 8 is a halogen headlight with 3 connectors harness coming from the car . any cable adapter or wiring diagram that I can hook up the new HID into my 8. If can hook up everything included the leveler will be nice.

This actually gets a little complicated and you will probably have to splice some wires.
I was looking at the S2(not your S1) wiring diagram, but with your pictures, I think I can assume they are the same system. Halogen headlights have 2 separate connectors. One is for high beams, one is for low beams. HID headlights have 1 connector, as the low and high share the same connector. Forget about the leveling function. Not only do you need the 2 leveling sensors, but you also need to add wires to a lot of other units. Lots of work. |
I think its an entire harness swap if I remember correctly. I was considering doing this on my 04 base model and was told there was a lot that needed replaced in order to make the HID swap work properly. As stated above you will need the leveling sensors, one front and one rear and you will need the harness for both, which I assume may not be plug an play into an existing harness from a base model.

I think it's the easiest to just buy a H7 HID kit online and do a projector swap between the 2 units you have on hand.

I'm sure I can hardwire or buy some plugs and make it right. I may need to splice the wires like you said the Ground wire from the low beam needs to be shared coming from the car to the HL and the high beam on the HID will be ignored I mean wire nut on it. Definitely leveling not gonna happen.

I will be home shortly and need help to find out what plug is right beside the HID unit underneath the headlight. |

My concern would be that without the leveling, the headlamps will be stuck at their lowest position, making it somewhat difficult to see at night. I had this happen when a leveling sensor failed on an 05 GT that I owned.
