Something looks wrong on your headlamp bro, it looks like it has been tampered and the connector has been swapped with a 2pin connector instead of the 3pin, coz the 3pin provides, ground, 100% 12V and 50% 12v. i'll post a pic shortly of how it should look

Here is a pic of how it should look:
Notice that on your PCB you have one solder point which is removed. The white 5 pin connector on the other hand has two for the turn signal, the turn signal is the row of two pins and the row of 3pins is for the LED lights.

You have 3 options:
1. Return to seller because it has been opened and tampered with and may cause problems in the future
2. Just run it on 50% intensity, which is what your pin config can allow.
3. solder all 3 points back on, but i'm assuming it must have been removed for a reason.
If you want to wire it to work as is with 50% intensity, then heres a pic of the pin configuration, you could simply make a custom crimp plug and plug it in.

What I would suggest is to depin the Sewell harness at the circuit board plug and then wrap the pin in heat shrink and connect them to the two pins like mentioned by the above poster.

and what about other side - plug is different as well. Also whitch cable I shouldt use? I need 2 and have 3 to the led plug, and from other side there is 4 and harness have 5, so looks like I have one cable more in harness, but whitch one?

The 2 pins that are soldered on your PCB are ground and the 12V 50% intensity . The middle pin of the 3 pins on the PCB is +12v 50%, the unsoldered pin is the 100% +12V. I dont know why this is but it may be that in Japan they operate it at 50% intensity at all times, or if you purchase this second-hand then maybe its been modified. If you want to simply make it work as it is, you could simple customize the 3 pin connector that you bought from Sewell. Just unpin all 3 pins, and use just the 2 pins and make the 3rd pin redundant.
