What's up guys, i am in the middle of re-wiring my front end and I am confused to whether i should do what i was thinking or if maybe it could turn out to be a big mistake.
I working on my 97 accord which is a usdm, and i have a front end from a CD6 (jdm) that came with some additional lights. It has foglights (pair) and intersection lights (pair), so that's 4 extra bulbs.
Here's a pic of the driver's side front end, and that is the part that is concerning me the most.

Driver side, there are 6 wires to it, which one is thicker than the other 5.

Passenger side, there are 6 wires, one is thicker than the other 5 as well.


Now, on the jdm front end.
Left side (driver's side on the us) has 8 wires (which i fugured, 2 additional wires for the 2 additional bulbs on this side of the car) and also, 1 wire thicker than the other 7.

Right side (passenger side on the us) has 6 wires (???how come it doesn't have 2 additional wires por the fog and intersection light on this side????), and 1 is thicker than the other 5 wires.


My questions are:
1) What do theses white boxes do exactly?!
2) Will it be a problem if the black wires from the white boxes don't get wired up with the exact same old wire?! (example... if i cut one of these black wires that went to the high beam, and i use it to wire the intersection light instead... will it be a problem? Or are these black wires just... "negative" wires or something?!

Please, someone help me please.... i have to go back to the car today to continue this....
Thanks in advance for any help!

 

This belongs in the tech forum. This has nothing to do with audio, security or video.

However, the two white "boxes" are common ground points. The terminal at the top gets bolted to the frame of the car, and the black wires ground through that single point.

 

Thanks, someone in another forum cleared that up for me, but thanks for the reply.
