Default F-type Led my18 headlight connector

My first post here, have read many helpful threads here, could I ask for some help does anyone have a photo of their passenger side headlight connector? For the MY18 Led version

I'm rebuilding a crash damaged 3.0L, the car has the drivers side headlight connector in tact but the wires are different colour on the passenger side. I have sourced a connector and the pins needed, I tried measuring the volts on each wire but whilst I can make a good guess where most of them should go I'm not certain for at least 4 of them. If someone could share a photo of theirs it would make the task a lot quicker for me and I'd be very grateful. Obviously my next option will be to sign up to topix, but atm I'm reluctant to do that as the guides people have shared on here don't have any info regarding wire colours for connectors maybe someone could let me know if that's an easier route to go?

I've attched a photo of my driver side connector

Louis, your location shows as Swansea but you talk about drivers side and passenger side which are terms more commonly used by our US cousins whereas those in Blighty tend to use the terms offside and nearside.
So to me at least it's unclear which sides you are talking about and "left" and "right" would be clearer.
(I have had a bit of debate on another forum, a UK based forum, about the terms offside and nearside and how they make zero sense to me and it would be much clearer just to use "left" and "right", but I got zero support!)

Ahh yes I forgot not everyone lives in the UK, the parts on our drivers side for a right hand drive car have RH on them.

You can count on my support, Oz, I'm a great believer in using "left" and "right" as they're completely unambiguous (assuming orientation from the driver's perspective).

Fixed it, most them were fairly simple to work out just the pins for the indicator and dipped beam weren't obvious.

Could you please share that info for future reference now that you know . It will be useful for someone else in the future too.
