Default replacing headlight on a 2014

Hi all - my daughter hit the garage entrance and broke the right headlight and I decided to take on the challenge of replacing the headlight. I ordered an aftermarket replacement from ebay and received the headlight today. Comparing to the original one it looks a bit different (see photos attached). Can anyone give me guidance on the wiring harness swap. I see there are differences on the clips. I wonder if I need to order a different set of wiring for the aftermarket headlight or is the part I ordered not a match and I should return it. Much appreciate help on this one.


the aftermarket headlight is on the right

there is no place to mount this box on the aftermarket headlight (see next photo)


the shape of this clip is rectangular, yet the socket on the aftermarket headlight is triangular (see next phot0)



not sure what the grey plastic sticking out is. I do not see that on the original headlight (see previous photo)

100% wrong headlight.

Your old headlights are HID what you have received is base spec halogen.

Send it back.

thank you. I will send it back. Do you know if they are aftermarket HIDs?

Yes there are HID conversion kits available , but they may not be legal in your location. They aren't legal in my country.

Which of these causes include accountable activities? Intentional aberrance, first on the rundown, clearly warrants fault. Be that as it may, absentmindedness may not. In the event that it results from an absence of exertion, maybe it's culpable.
