I have a 95 gsx. I just had a 97+ bumper cover installed but I had to get the 97+ headlamps for the conversion. I picked up a set of angel eyes and to no suprise the wiring is different. The lamps have 3 sets of wires (a pos. and neg.) one for each light and the connector has 2 prongs on the inside. My headlight harness has only two cables for each lamp and there are 3 wires the mount to each connector. And of course the connectors on both do not match. Anyone have a wiring diagram for the headlights or does anyone have experiance they'd like to share???

Here is a simplifed drawing of the headlamp circuit in the 95-99 models.

The lamps you got are probably NOT plug-n-play like they usually claim. You can either cut the plugs and wires out of you old lights or splice as required with extra parts.

Note the OEM headlights use a common hot wire to both high and low beam and that the low beam has a constant ground but the high beam has a switched ground. Kind of different so study the diagrams before you cut into the wires. You can wire the angel eyes to the marker lights in the side of the bumper.

Also note that the colors shown inside the OEM lights change colors after the OEM plug on the vehicle.
