Does anyone have a picture of the headlight and turn signal wiring? I need a picture of the back side so I can see what goes where. I've seen the diagrams but can't seem to follow them. Any photos of headlights and turn signals taken apart and the wiring connected would be great. Thanks!

At the switches or the lights themselves?

At the lights. Really now I only need the turn signal ones. There is a grey, brown, and black wire. Looks like two hook in the front for the light and then one hooks in the back, I'm guess for the running lights. If you could just tell me what goes where, I think I could get it.

I forgot to mention that there is a jumper wire coming off the grey wire. I think that is the ground, but not sure. I thought brown was always the ground.

Brown is most always ground. The jumper goes to the "Side marker", that little tiny bulb in there. I don't have a pic handy, but hear goes with the words...
-
Looking at the turn housing from the front, then left to right...
BROWN ground wire to the ground tab
BLACK
GREY
-
Looking at the headlight connector from the front, the side that plugs into the bulb, AND making this shape [_], again left to right...
BROWN
YELLOW
WHITE
-I hope that helps

Does anyone have any pics of the headlight wiring? Before my car was painted, someone cut all of the wires that go to the headlights and the turn signals.

I too would have interest in a picture and further description of the headlight/ turn signal wiring. I have a thing with just the wires hanging out of the wheel wells and was thinking of some after market separate headlights and turnsignals and I'm not sure how to wire them up to the stock wiring.
