I'm looking to replace the headlights and I found some new looking ones online, but there's a problem. The connector has 6 pins which i weird because as far as I was able to gather from online searches it should be a 3 pin connector. Anyone have an idea about this?
 
Looks like your bike has a dual headlight setup maybe with some halos too. Those plugs aren't original. Before you start working on it think about what kind of light you really want. If you're not careful you could end up with too much light and risk messing up your stator
 
Probably the seller posted a set meant for a different model year or even a different trim. Some ZX 6R headlights especially aftermarket or ones with integrated DRLs or signal lights use more pins for added features. If your stock setup only uses a 3 pin, you'd need either an adapter or to rewire the new ones manually
 
Spoke to the seller and he explained that I'll need to do some rewiring to get them to work, other than that everything will work just fine. I don't have a problem doing the wiring, but how big are the chances of screwing something up badly?
 
It sounds like those extra pins are meant for some cool added features, like DRLs or leveling adjustments. If you take your time to follow each wire and match everything up correctly, you can definitely make it work! Just remember to double-check with a multimeter and use good connectors to keep everything secure. Honestly, as long as you stay careful, the chances of making a big mistake are pretty slim.

Guess I'll need to reserve a weekend for this. Thanks for the tip and encouragement. Hope I don't end up doing half of the bike's wiring.
