I can solder them together, just can't figure out the hi and Lo ones. I believe it's ground to ground. But this harness is different then the passenger side.

Is that solid copper wire in there? Looks like household electrical wires spliced in. That needs to be replaced if it is.
The wiring from the harness?? This photo is from the passenger side. Which works, but on high beams only. 20200524_102404.jpg

really really need a bigger picture to see what you are messing with there but there are 2 separate parts to the yukon headlight
1 is a 3 wire connector for the headlight hi/low/ground (the low beam is also the daytime running light) does not have a dedicated daytime running light.
1 is a 3 wire connector for the turn signal and splits back out from the turn signal socket into 5 wires of which 2 go to the side marker light

really hard to see what you having going on with such a small picture take a bigger closer picture please.


My apologies. Is this any better. This is the driver side, (one that doesn't work) compared to the passenger which I uploaded in a previous comment.

Ok, never mind...I guess it was just the picture quality, it was hard to see.

But now I see something else that I question- is that wiring in the woven shielding from an aftermarket HID ballast? If it is, you should eliminate any HID parts and wiring from your vehicle and run normal halogen bulbs and stock wiring. You shouldn’t attempt to wire into the output from a HID ballast, it’s high voltage and could be dangerous. If that’s a HID bulb that the woven shield is on, it won’t turn on WITHOUT a ballast. I would also get a set of vehicle-to-headlight harnesses to eliminate some of your confusing. One side plugs into the vehicle and the other splits into the separate bulb sockets. You can get them from a wrecking yard.
