Xeon HID Euro Headlights for '92 S-4
I've got an '92 S-4 in addition to a '83 URQ & yes, an '01 TT.
I've been reading a lot of threads on headlights and can't find anything in the archives on this particular assembly. I've been told that, maybe, there's only a handful of these in the US.
I've acquired what, I've been told, are a set of actual Xeon HID European Headlights for my 1992 S-4. These are the ones that can be leveled by a switch on the dashboard.
They are not "Plug & Play" as their respective wiring connectors do not match. There are 3 connectors, One Plug and Two Sockets.
I am trying to find or make a covert adapter so that I won't have to cut any wires.
I have 6 sets of part numbers that I've found on the lights.
For the sake of simplicity the following numbers are for the drivers side only:
On the lens itself is the following number: 301-137-169-07
On the housing are the following: 4A0 941 003 AF
& 1EL 007 010-01
Stamped on the housing next to one socket is # 140505-00 LI (or Ll).
The silver box (ballast?) # 007-100-01/-02
The only plug on the unit, which is coming off the Ballast, has this # 813 971 958
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I thought the euro headlights had the same connectors, guess I was wrong
Look at the plug it should have a part# on it, then someone can look for its mate in a parts catalog.. or
Take a picture of the plug on the Hid lights so we have a visual reference

The two connectors on the housing are the same but
I'm not certain where the one coming from the ballast would go..
I would take the bulb cover off and trace the wires from the large plug on the housing to see if the low beam one goes to the ballast, maybe the plug on the ballast goes to a relay...
the large socket is for the headlights high and low
the small socket is fog light.
if its a euro setup you are missing a pin on the large socket for the city lights
also it looks like it has the range adhustment motor, which should have its own plug

Re: The two connectors on the housing are the same but
I've just been told that these lights use a switch on the dash to level the lights.
I do have a wiring diagram (in German). I would think that to make up a adapter all I would need are the respective sockets & plugs and some wire. I had a set of Hellas years ago that I put in a '84 Corolla. I once had those adapters & lost them. I ended up having to build my own.

Re: The two connectors on the housing are the same but
I really don't see why you need an adapter if you have an S4, the only thing you should need is the harness and switch for the range adjuster..
as I said before the sockets for the fog and headlight are the same on the U.S lights.
could you post the wiring diagram I'm curious to see where the extra plug on the ballast goes.
