There are wires that have been cut on the passenger side of my vehicle. I would like to know how to rewire the cut wires so my headlights will turn.

Hi,

Are you able to see both sides that were cut? If so, it shouldn't be too difficult. You will need to match the wire color between the two sides. Although the wires should be soldered and shrink-wrapped for repair, you could use an insulated butt connector.

If possible, take a pic of what you are dealing with and upload it for me to see. Also, I attached the wiring schematic below for the headlamp system. This is for the Xenon bulb system. If you don't have that, let me know.

Additionally, the last pic shows what a butt connector looks like. You can get them at any hardware store or auto parts store.

Let me know what I can do to help.

Take care,

Joe
