Hey guys! I recently picked up a harness from an ebay seller in china, as I didn't feel like paying 200 dollars for the ShopDAP one. They came with very very basic instructions in Chinese and I'm just trying to figure out which pin each wire needs to go to. I have a decent understanding of everything up to this point. I've looked through several dozen pages of this thread and as it's 238 pages long, felt like it may be better asked here:
Does anybody have a simple diagram showing the connections between all 4 lights, specifically showing which pins correspond to which wires?
Many thanks in advance, will keep looking in the meantime.
Editing to add pictures/explanations:
These are the components that were sent. I really want to be sure of the pin positions before installing as I would like to avoid ruining the header. I've gathered this info through the Chinese instructions using Google Translate. Bonus points and my eternal gratitude to anybody that can help me make sense of these instructions and prevent me from regretting going cheap on these! I would have liked to go with ZERO815's harness, but he's not currently producing them.
Instructions:
Right Outer: Two main headers only:
Right Inner: Two main headers, two single wires with ends to insert into (I'm assuming) the right outer harness. Final wire leads to male 3-pin header:
Left inner: Two main headers, single wire with pin, two wires with male/female 3-pin headers, respectively:
Left outer: Two main headers, female 3-pin header, single wire with pin:
I'm trying to figure out what they mean by "T8/2" in the instructions. I do see that pin 2 on the left and right outer headers are free, so that's my best guess. Assuming that the left inner light wire runs to the left outer pin 2, right inner light wire runs to the outer right pin 2.
After that, this is my understanding:
-1 black/white wire coming from the left outer harness pin 1 (??)
-1 female 3-pin header also coming from the left outer harness pin 1 (connects to male 3 pin header on left inner unit pin 1)
-1 male 3-pin header coming from the left inner harness pin 1 (guessing this connects to the left outer female 3-pin header)
-1 female 3-pin header also coming from the left inner harness pin 1 (guessing this connects to the right inner male 3-pin header)
-1 male 3-pin header coming from the right inner harness pin 1 (guessing this connects to the left inner female 3-pin header)
-1 black/white wire coming from the right inner harness (??)
After searching all day, the two remaining items above still elude me. For the right side, I believe the wire coming from the inner pin 1 should feed to pin 1 of the right outer side. Does anybody know where the loose wire coming from pin 1 of the left outer harness should go? The pin 1 connection seems to be the common connection on all 4 lights that connects to the BCM. I've seen a diagram that mentions this connection should go to the BCM connector C pin 6. Do I really need to run this all the way up to the front of the car? How do other harnesses avoid the need to do this?
Edit: contacted the seller and he instructed me that I don't need to do anything with the pin 1 black wire coming from the left outer light. I'm not sure how that makes sense.
