Default OEM HID Ground Wire(s)

Hi, all.

My X-Type halogen headlights were smashed so I took the opportunity to upgrade to the OEM HID headlights (great deal). After rebuilding them, I am now aware they're not plug and play. Plugging them in, all lights work except for the main HID. Obviously I'm missing the grounds. Which are the ground pin slots? I see slot 3, 4, 6 and 8 are empty. Happy to disregard the self leveling feature obviously. Just wanting the lights to work. Thanks!

Pin 8 is your ground wire specifically for the HIDs. Same pin on both sides.

Beautiful. Thanks, got them wired in. They look awesome! So much better than halogen.
