wiring help with 2001 HID headlights.

[makenzie71]

I'm having a hard time finding a decent wiring diagram for the headlights. I need a pin out of the main plug going to the assemblies. Anyone have access to such a thing?

Nevermind...it was actually pretty straight forward after I got all the casings stripped down.

That said, the HID's flicker rapidly and then don't ignite...so new problem. I'm checking the connections now.

Sometimes red plugs get burnt inside and then it does that, check them

The contacts in the plugs and the bulbs both look very clean. On of the ballasts flickers for a good three or four seconds before shutting down. The other one flashes the bulb like one time and goes dead. Both bulbs are pretty heavily salted, though, so it's probably bad bulbs, mostly. Almost all the sheathing for the wiring all through the lights, though, was brittle and cracking off, so I think this setup has been abused. On top of that, the one ballast only barely flashing a bulb kind of makes me think that ballast is damaged (it acts the same way with either bulb, and the other buzzes the bulb for a couple seconds with either bulb). I'd order new bulbs and test them but as it is I can get my money back for the lights if I take them back tomorrow (and, really, my goal was a set of Nissan Murano bi-xenons). Or convert them to LED.
