Help! with headlight wiring please! 200 86

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike J on  Fri Sep 28 14:22 CST 2001 [RELATED]



I'm trying to figure out the wiring for hi/low beam headlights.

I'm switching from the '86 style big crappy plastic lights to some 7" rounds. The connectors, however, are different.

Basically, what I'm hoping that you can help me with is this:

There are three wires running to the headlight: Red, Blue, and Black.

There are three prongs on the 7" round headlight: left vertical, bottom horizontal, and right vertical (picture a box with no lid - three sides, right)

What goes where?!

I've bought the new connectors, but the wires coming from it aren't color coded.

I'll let you know how the whole thing works out when I'm done - it may just be a cheap way to upgrade the '86 headlights. But before I can go any farther, I need to know this wiring.

Thank you all for your help - it's greatly appreciated. Thank god for the brickboard!

Mike.
