I am needing help with my son's 88 320i. It was imported from Japan to Canada. My problem is that the previous owner cut out the Euro head lights and sold them leaving only the wires. I am needing to put in sealed beams until he can save enough to buy new euro ones. I am looking for photos of the backs of the stock headlights and the wiring colors if possible. I believe there are 6 wires per side.
Thanks from Canada , Kevin

Here is a pic with the colours of the wires. If you search headlights on here you will get the connectors BMW references to replace them, which I posted a few months back.

You can also buy the kit for replacing the wires to the inside of the connectors.
