Hard to say if it has to do with ground. Ground is basically common everywhere in the car... Something else might be wrong. Connect the ground to the chassis somewhere LEXiiON
I tried two ways. One i disconected the ground from the high beam and it worked fine exept the high will not work when the turn signal is on... The other way i disconnected the ground from the drl. Which the high beam works but the flashback did not work
Found my issue. the headlight assembly uses a shared ground. so when I connected both the high beam and DRL and connected my Morimoto switchback drivers the drl would not turn off. I disconnected the High ground and the switchback works so does highbeam. The issue is when the turn signal is on the highbeam does not work. I am guessing the switchbacks cut the ground when in use that is causing the issue. How do I get the highbeam to work without affecting the switchback. is there a way to get the switchback to cut power not ground.
2013 HID headlights using custom harness to connect to 2011-2012 nonHID
I want to thank LEXiiON, ebalderas and 5.0verkill.
Below are my findings in my quest to build a harness. So I hope this helps others make there own harnesses. all parts were purchased on eBay. except for wrap solder shrink wrap harbor freight.
Pin 1 Low beam
Pin 3 DRL Power Full
Pin 5 DRL Power Dim
Pin 8 Ballast Ground
Pin 10 Power Ballast
Pin 12 Power High beam
Pin 14 Ground
Using Motocraft WPT 1357
I wired pins 1 and 10 together for power and pin 8 for ground to connect to the morimoto harness ballast plug using a male 9006 pigtail
I wired pins 3 power DRl 9006 pigtail to connect to Diodedynamics DS1 switchback driver
Did not use pin 5 drl power dim
Connected pin 12 power high beam and pin 14 ground to male 9006 pigtail. To connect to morimoto harness high beam plug.
For the turn signal I used a 7444 pigtail and connected to a 9006 male pigtail to connect to Diodedynamics DS1 switchback driver(Output used ground and yellow for turn signal and the white alone since headlight uses common ground for DRL). I first connected 7444 to 3157 to figure which two wires made turn signal flash since you do not use the other wire(used yellow and ground input).
I connected the 3157 directly to the switchback since this will connect to old turn signal bulb. Remember if it does not work rotate plug.
I ran a power wire from fuse 39 using a fuseblade to power switchbacks which in turn powered DRL

I know this thread has been dead for awhile, but it still helped me out a bit.
Anyway I found a guy that actually makes this wiring harness. It's a plug-n-play 2010 Halogen to 2013 HID with DRL's, and takes about 90-120 minutes to install.

Greetings, I've found your picture of the 16 holes socket white of the headlights and I thought it was of a f-150 lol because I brought a salvage car (I didn't know) so their came with different headlights, ANYWAY, I brought the Morimotohid FORD MUSTANG (10-14): XB LED HEADLIGHTS (my Mustang is from 2014) and when I was going to install I had the surprise that I couldn't connect the connectors, I had a big white socket with 16 holes in the Mustang and several small in the Morimoto headlights, and it was Plug and Play ( I don't know where lool) anyone knows where to find the adapters or anything? Please, I can't find anywhere and I'm not a electrician and also I'm a Portuguese living in France and garages of American cars are a complete RIP OFF!! So that everyone was the idea s big glass of passager side costs in USA around 100$ and here in France is around 500$! I'm NOT KIDDING! And I also can't stand the French people (A5 big paper complaints so that you have an idea)
Cheers
I'll appreciate any help in this matter Morimoto connectors Mustang 2014 connector( there's also another small one of the turn signal) Mustang 2014 connector
