Ray,

   I did (sort of) the same thing.  I put the headlights and grille from
a '98 200SX on my '97.  As you found out, when you switch from 9004 to
9007 bulbs, the pinout is different.  Two wires will have to be swapped
on each headlight.  I believe the ground and high beam pins are
switched, but I don't remeber exactly.  It's easy to tell by looking
carefully at the bulbs, however.  Then swap the appropriate wires going
to the sockets and you should be A-OK.
