Re: Relaying Headlights

["Ian Overholt" <ioverholt@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>This is from memory, so it's a little shaky, but here goes:  Brown is 
ground.  Yellow is low beam.  White is high beam.  I could have the yellow 
and white wrong, but either way your low beam bulb will have either 2 
yellows or 2 whites.  Which ever one has 2 wires is the high beams.  Got 
that?  I'm 90% certain that yellow is low beam though.  One side of the car 
will have a yellow wire with black stripe and a white wire with black 
stripe.  This is just to differentiate the left side of the car from the 
right side.  Make sense still?

You didn't say if you are running regular US sealed beams or H4's.  The pin 
connections on those 2 bulbs are different.  I know this has been around the 
list a few times and should be in a FAQ.  But I can't remember the pin 
connections for the different bulbs off the top of my head.  Your car should 
have been wired for sealed beams.
