Simple headlight wiring question
« on: April 17, 2006, 06:58:18 PM »
Can any of your helpful folks tell me which color wires go where in the back of the headlight?  There are three wires that go into the back of the light, but i cant remember which color goes where.  I tried my manual and searching on here but i couldnt come up with anyting.  Thanks for the help

This is for a 74 cb750

Green is the ground, White the low-beam and Blue the hi-beam.

Do you know their orientation? Lets say starting with the headlight in normal position, where would each color go on the trianglular thing (top right, top left, and bottom)

I was afraid you were going to ask that... :)

From a photo, it looks like top left=Blue, bottom=White, top right=Green.

If you are willing to wait until tomorrow I can verify it. I take it you don't have the little pigtail wiring harness that goes between the main harness and the headlight?

you were right jonsey, thanks for the help.  I got everything wired up properly, and even got in a little ride before bed.
