The main function of the headlight is being run with the help of wiring harnesses. And, all the wires of it are usually attached to the Battery Junction Box (which stays hot all the time).

As you can see in the 2 diagrams, the BCM aka Body Control Module has up to 6 circuits that are being attached to the fixed areas.

Before explaining the connection of each wire, we want to make things clear about the alphabetical data on the BCM. The A refers to RF/LF Park Limps and B stands for RF/LF Low Beam in both diagrams.

Lastly, the F figure represents the RF/LF Turn Outrage.

Park Lamp

The Park Lamp wire has blue with a grey stripe. And, it helps the headlight to shine when in ‘P’ (parking) mode.

Low & High Beam

The Low Beam wire has a light blue/brown shade with a green/blue stripe on the right-front and left-front areas. And there’s the orange/grey with violet/brown stripe cable on RF and LF side, which is High Beam wire.

DRL (Daytime Running Lamp)

You will see the violet/blue wire with a white/grey stripe, which is basically DRL wire. FYI, the previous models usually don’t have this part.

Turn Lamp

And, the Turn Lamp wire has a sunshine yellow/blue with an orange/green stripe that connects to the BCM’s RF Turn Lamp (on right-front and left-front).

Turn Limp Outrage

If looking closely at the drawing, the blue /yellow wire with a grey/green stripe cable that connects to the RF Turn Outrage is this part.

Ground Wire

The black and white/yellow stripe cable is called the Ground wire that completes the headlight wiring harness to operate properly.

Note:

  1. LF = Left Front (Driver Side View)
  2. RF = Right Front (Passenger Side View).
  3. DRL color can also be violet with a white stripe.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do you connect headlight wires?

To wire headlight wires, you need to do a couple of things. Start by locating the faulty one and then open the hood to disconnect the wiring harness. Then, inspect if any wire is broken and cut it off. Next, strip the wire using tape. And if you want to connect the headlight wires directly to the battery, then do so using a long cable.

What wire do you use for headlights?

Most experts suggest using solid core 16-gauge (1.5 mm2) – 18-gauge (1.0 mm2) wires which are best for headlights. However, in some cases, you can use the 20-gauge (0.5mm2) wires too.

How much does it cost to rewire the headlight?

The overall cost of rewiring the headlight is around $2,400. And, if you include the tax, materials, and other expenses, it may cost higher.
