Default Need Help Wiring headlaights

I'm in the final step of completion. When I bought this car the headlights were taken off of it(with little finnes). They were cut almost at the wiring harness. Have 6 wires on the driver's side that I can see and 7 on the passenger's side. What goes to each bulb and to the balasts? Next issue--I replaced what seems to ba some sort of recirculator pump located on the driver's side just in front of the wheel. I plugged it in to the large grey plug that is in that area. Here is the problem, on that same harness there is another heavy duty plug. I don't know what the hell that is supposed to plug in to. Help me please!!! Help me, Help me please!!!!

Thanks,
Manny

sounds like a good time to drop $65 and get the manual.

I would love to buy one but I wanted one that covers 2002 model and they have been out of it for a while now. So if you have one on hand I would appreciate some advice on the subject.

There should be no appreciable differences between all current S2000 models, at least as far as the manual is concerned. Who cares if the 2002 model has a vinyl cover over the center console or chromed rings in the headlights...

Helms manual is probably not going to help much if he can't identify which cable goes where. There is no diagram for the cabling as far as I can see in the Helms manual for the headlights. You need to find someone who is willing to take their lights off and snap a pic for you or go find someone local who is willing to do it for you, so that you can see with your own 2 eyes and take notes.

OK, Here it goes:

Driver's Side

2 Red with Yellow stripe
1 Red with Blue stripe
2 Black
1 Green with Red stripe


Passenger's Side

2 Red with White stripe
1 Red with Blue stripe
1 Red with Black stripe
2 Black
1 Green with yellow stripe


The plug that goes to nowhere down in front of Driver's wheel:

1 White with red stripe
1 White with Green stripe
(very heavy guage)

Wondering if I'm not seeing one of the wires on the driver's side....6 on driver's 7 on passenger's side? sounds strange.

I appreciate the help!

Thanks
