Default where wires of headlights/fogs connectors goes to ?

The previous owner had wrecked on front end. I am going to installed an aftermarket HID or OEM headlights. I don't know which wires goes to turn signals, the headlights, and the fog lamps, Could anyone please tell me which wire goes where? This vehicle is '01 Camaro Z28.
Had Update on Nov.4th.



Headlights/Fog Lamps @right (pass.) side
Connector#1: High Beam Headlight (Lime wire:"+")
Connector#2: :Low Beam Headlight (Tan wire: "+")

@Right Side
Connector#3:Turn (right) signal ("+")
Connector#4:Lamp ON when switch on>side marker ("+") goes with #7
Connector#5:Lamp ON when switch on>side marker ("+") goes with #6
Connector#6:Lamp ON when switch on>side marker ("-") goes with #5
Connector#7:Lamp ON when switch on>side marker ("-") goes with #4
Connector#8: Fog Lamp ("-")
Connector#9: Fog lamp ("+")



Headlights/Fog Lamps @Left (driver) side

Connector#1:Low Beam Headlight (Tan wire ("+")
Connector#2:High Beam Headlight (Lime wire ("+"))

@ Left Side
Connector#3: Fog Lamp
Connector#4: :No responsive when headlight switch turn on
Connector#5::Lamp ON when switch on>side marker
Connector#6:Lamp ON when switch on>side marker

I use this headlight for testing, looks foggy badly.

#1 & #2 are the low beam and high beam headlight sockets, but I forget which is which. You can find out real quick by testing them. Hook up some bulbs, turn on the headlights. See which ones are on. Flip the high beam switch see which change. Then you'll know which is which.

#6 in the second to last pic is a fog light bulb, but it looks like just the connectors and not an actual socket. You can confirm that by turning on the fog lights and see if that lights up.

#5 in the second to last pic looks like either the turn signal or side marker. I'm not sure which, but activating the turn signals will tell you that.

Light blue wire on left side should be turn signal/DRL power. The equivalent wire on the right side will be dark blue. Easy test: use a test light to check for power - wire should have no power until the ignition is on and the parking brake is released (DRL) and should have flashing power with the left turn signal on.
