Pin locations vary somewhat. I would say a multimeter from the plug to the actual socket would be in order, but you have the lights in the car already, so scratch that one, as it would be a PITA i'd imagine. If you just mess around, ill bet you find it. And if you are in Bellingham on the 16th, Id be more than happy to take a peek at it

snorida, I just went out and looked at my lights, I don't have too much room to take off the caps and look inside at the corresponding wire colors but the pins are as follows: White is at 12 o' clock, both of the brown wires (which are ground wires) are at 9 o' clock, gray wire is at 6 o' clock and the yellow is at 3 o' clock. All of these come from looking straight down onto the headlight from the top. If it's easier and a little less confusing, if you're looking straight down on the headlight, the white wire is on top, two browns on the left, gray on the bottom and yellow at right. Hope this helps you! Sorry I can't help you more, but there's not much room to see inside the lights without an inspection mirror, barely enough room to change the bulbs! Good luck!

Correction, i only have my highs working, which is probably blinding people. This has been the biggest PITA ever

You'd think you would know if you had the highs on because of the blue indicator in the dash. Was that on? And you can definitely tell a difference between the HIDs and the high beams; I don't even use my highs, my hids are bright enough. You should have gotten them pre-wired, that saves a huge hassle..but hope you get em going!

Well i think my highs are on because when i drive i can see my light reflecting off all the street signs. I bought them from apexcone because i heard they were the best. They pretty much bent me over

Turn on your lights and get out of your car and see which are lit. Go from high to low and low to high and see. Otherwise, I'm not sure, dude that sucks..

Yeah when i turn the switch to low, the outer lights go on. Which i believe are my highs. And when i hit the high beam switch nothing changes. This whole thing is killing me plus some mexican "BMW Specialist" wants $300 to install them.

the outside lights are supposed to be your low beams. Did you get HIDs? When you turn on your high beams, both your low and high beams are on. How's that? $300 bucks?! Tell that dude to F off..that's ridiculous! You've got those pins messed up I think. Mine were completely plug and play, did no wiring at all...
