• Got the headlights working - just as you guys said, I had to repin the low/high beam. - Thanks
  
  As for grounding the 4 wires at the back of head - for temp gauge etc.  -  a no go.
  
  I grounded each of the four wires one at a time, ( with key on) and nothing happened   either gauge\light-wise-at the instrument panel.
  
  So I guess I have to start my way backwards - wiring, all the way back to the instrument panel.

  These things... are the cheapest but still quality. Get the harness and the lights all at the same time and you wont be sorry. Making a harness.... is bull***. You can't drive to the store, buy wire and relays for less than $30. Buy the housings. The ebay seller I linked too sells a quality product. They aren't HELLA...But wtf does anyone need hella for? His are all glass/metal construction. They are solid. I have some in my golf. Plus... free bulbs....
