Are those the wires on the Fiat lights you are installing?
Stock Corvette wires should be: tan - low beam power lt green - high beam power black - ground |

I'm trying to find some info on the wiring diagrams, but it's a bit tough. Heck, took me 20 minutes to find out a "dip" headlight is basically the low beam...but headlights appear to be wired differently in Europe for that feature. And they are lh/rh drive specific. Interesting.

No, not anything with a black stripe is a ground.
I think you'll have difficulty using the stock fiat wiring harness. That is set up for a main high beam/driving light in the center and the outside light is a dip light with a motor. They both appear to be controlled by separate circuits with relays and of course a switch. Also, those headlights appear to use an "h1" bulb as opposed to an h4 like the vette would use. If it were me, I'd ditch the side lights, and just use the center section for the main beam. From what I've read, the h1 wiring should fit the h4 light bulb, too, but you'll have to verify this. This is all theoretical at this point. I know zero about Fiat/European wiring and I'm not too good if I can't see what I'm working on. Matthew |

Is that a company making them or doing a retrofit or what? How will you address the wiring?

Company that retrofits them. These will have a plug and play harness for the stock C4 wiring. Just need to figure out where to mount the ballasts.
The stock plugs are long gone. |
