Nissan 8-Pin Headlight & Sensor Wire Harness Connector – Female OEM

This 8-pin female connector is used in Nissan headlight assembly and sensor harnesses. The 8-pin configuration integrates low beam, high beam, DRL, turn signal, leveling motor, and sensor circuits for Nissan LED or xenon headlight assemblies. Available bare or with 15cm pre-wired leads.

Key Specifications

Why Headlight Connectors Fail

Nissan headlight connectors are exposed to road vibration, thermal cycling from LED/xenon drivers, and moisture from the headlight housing. Terminal oxidation or housing cracks cause intermittent headlight failures, DRL malfunctions, or B-code fault codes. Replacing the connector restores full headlight circuit integrity.

Variant Guide

• Female – Bare 8-pin housing with terminals
• Female 15CM – Pre-wired with 15cm leads for direct splice-in installation

Installation Steps

1. Disconnect the vehicle battery
2. Remove the headlight assembly to access the harness connector
3. Release the locking tab and unplug the original 8-pin connector
4. Transfer terminals to the new housing or splice in the pre-wired variant
5. Reinstall the headlight and verify all functions (low/high beam, DRL, turn signal)
