Need help- rewiring G63 headlight

Hi,

I am asking for a huge favor.

I have a 2014 G 63 that was damaged in a vandalism episode. I'm trying to rebuild. The headlights were stolen and the wires slashed. i have gotten the OEM headlights and OEM plug, but I need to know "WHICH color wire goes to WHICH pin"?

Does anybody have a picture of how their wiring harness to headlight plug connection looks. I am attaching the 7 wires that I see coming out of the harness, where it got slashed. There is an additional cable that has 2 wires and i am guessing that it is for the DRL.

Would someone have these pictures or able to look it up on their W463. I will really appreciate it. i know it involves work, but I am kind of stuck- and need help.

Thanks

Headlight cable splitting into 7 wires- Need to know which wire goes to which pin on the connector

I think this might be the daytime light cable

Your second photo - brown is ground, the other wires is (+) for either DRL or parking light. On mine I have a connector with 3 wires (brown, yellow/blue, and red) -mine was unplugged and it caused 'Front Left Parking' light error and 'Front Left DRL' light error. I think they were maybe both plugged into the 5 LED DRL bar below the headlight. Mine was removed bc I have a 2015 Brabus G63 so my wiring's all been modified. The headlight wiring I can get you a photo of the back of my right headlight later today.

Also I have an extra headlight, fully functional, that I'm not using if you want it for a really discounted price. I wanted mine to have black housings so I took out my OEM ones - the one I have left has all the lights and ballasts and everything, no issues.

that is very helpful. I will go back and see if I can wire it up in the same fashion. That picture makes it much simpler.

if you don’t mind sharing the video that’ll be even more helpful.

I’ll dm you.

thanks
