Default Swap 97 Firebird Front Clip with 99TA Need Help With Headlight Wiring

I swapped my 97 Firebird Front Clip for one from a 99 TransAm. They were both the same color so the swap went very nice. I parted out the TA and still have all of the wiring in it. I Googled this swap but cannot find any diagrams or the best place to splice in the wires. Has anyone done this or know of any resources on the Internet that would help me? Thank you

you might want to start chasing the wires from the t/a see were they plug in at you might just be able to swap that part of the haness out

Default Wiring

Did you do splice them in near the Headlights themselves? I thought that there were more wires for the newer system. (Not counting the Fog Lights). Thanks to everyone for responding

Default Headlight Wiring

I did it last night. It was only 5 wires per side and 4 of them were the same colors. I was expecting it to be a lot harder. I cut the plugs off at the old connections and then soldered the new connectors on. Thanks again for the responses
