New head lights not working

Hi just wondering if any one on here has a wiring diagram for my audi a3 sport xenon headlights.

Think the wiring is incorrect but can't find a diagram.

Just installed my new lights but the indicators, highbeam and DRL's are not working. 

The headlight wiring has been changed at some point so I'm just wanting to check it right.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks James

Hi Steve

Bit of a long story but here goes.

I bought the car about 4 years ago as a cat s repaired car. The lights that were fitted were led lights. At the start of the year they started playing up drls not working. So I ordered new lights the same code as the ones that were fitted. I installed these but they did not work, I thought that it was a coding issue but it wasn't. Audi told me that the led lights that were installed were not the correct lights for the car. They gave me the codes of the correct light that should be installed in the car and they are the xenon's that I have now fitted. But these are not working either, so I'm thinking that if they are the correct lights for the car and are nor working then the wiring must be wrong. The wires have all been cut and pieced together. I have been trying to find a wiring diagram for the lights but can't find anything.

Hi whoever butchered the wiring originally did so to accommodate the LEDs I would be inclined to consult an auto electrician as they have the knowledge and the equipment to restore the wiring to standard, me personally I hate retrofit LED conversions as they are piles of Chinese cr@p, which don't last.
