Default Okay, I feel like a total tool having to ask this, but...

I need somebody to tell me what color codes for the headlight wires on a 98 are. I'm installing euro codes, and have the following wire diagram.
Tan/White (Low Beam) -Blue Wire (2)
Yellow/White (High Beam)-Yellow Wire (1)
Brown (Ground) -Black (4)

Problem is, my stock wires are these colors:
Brown (ground)
Yellow/Black
White/Green
White/Black

And my e-codes have the following colors:
Purple/yellow- Goes to city light
Purple/black- Goes to highs
2 Brown- Grounds
Red- Appears to be low beams
Then I have another Blue/Black/Brown set of wires, that appears to not be used for anything.

I don't know which is for low/high/fog on my stock lights. Could somebody help me out? Also, should I tap into my parking lights (for the city lights) just before they connect with the front turn signals? Will they blink if I do this, or does the turn signal itself do that? If not, where should I tap into for the city lights?

Sorry, but I can't call any shops this weekend they lights and harnesses came with no instructions.

Default expose some of the wire where you plan to tap, and use a volt meter....

....and check if it flashes 12V/0. I just did that last weekend

If I understood, he was talking about the turn signal wires. Dunno how I'll tap that yet.
