pre vs post facelift headlamp wiring - help needed!

[E30mann]

Hi all just a quick query - bit stumped! Got a set of Depo angel eyes ages ago off FleaBay, remember on the description on the item page that the prefacelift e30 (my type) needed postfacelift plugs to fit - got a set off the breakers, no probs there, but when I finally get round to it today, noticed the outer front lamp plugs on mine have 3 wires instead of two. Anybody have any idea how I go about wiring in the postfacelift plugs - which wires go where etc. or anybody work around this? cheers all!

What are the colours of the three wires?

[E30mann]

Hi Brian, have the wire colours in order below, going from far driver's side to left (standing facing front)

RHS lamp
Brown (earth I presume)
Yellow / Blue stripe
Greeny grey / White stripe (could be grey or green, wires faded!)

Inner lamp (closer to kidney grill)
White / Blue stripe
Brown

second inner lamp
White / Purple stripe
Brown

Left outer lamp
Brown
Greeny grey / Yellow stripe (faded again!)
Yellow

[Brianmoooore]

browns = earth
white/blue, white purple = main beams
yellow/blue, yellow/white = dipped beams
grey/white, grey/yellow = parking lights (= angel eyes)
