i still don't have my damn headlight swtich because USPS sucks (it went out last Wednesday from Orange County, CA coming to me here in N. VA)

so, switch plugged in i have park and dash lights on and signals work........i can NOT turn off park lights and have NO headlights.............how can i get my headlights to come on? i'll cut and twist a getto it whatever i do not care, i need headlights!!! i've got to drive tomorrow night, brother is getting married this weekend..........99SI

USPS

 

Someone look in helms and tell this man the one power wire that goes directly to the headlights themselves!

Then take that wire, find the blk ground and hook those both up to a toggle switch.

Extremely ghetto but will work.

 

yeah which one!!!!

 

so simply grounding the wire will work? It's not a switch on the power wire that just puts a switch in the middle of the +?

 

I dont know if Andy is helping you or not because i was asked this last night. Incase his not heres what i told him:

For the left Headlight youll have 3 colors. Red/Grn, Red/Yel and blk. Obviously blk is ground. Red/Grn is High beams and Red/yel is low. If your going to make him a switch use Red/Yel for the left headlight.
Right Headlight has 3 as well. Red/White, Red/Blu and blk. Again blk ground. Red/White Low, and Red/blu high. Use Red/White.

When you do this if your going to run it to a straight switch source get a 10A fuse connector and use that so you dont short anything. If for some reason he has a Candian Version then the same principles apply but Red/Grn for left and Red/Blu for right also runs his daytime running lights.


Hope that helps.

Since you don't seem to want to figure out what the problem just follow the headlight harness back until the two meet, tap in right there to the power and ground and run them to a switch. It isn't that hard to figure out.

 

Yeah Todd/Alex, Luserkid and jdm are saying the same thing. Which is what I pmed you with. Do that. Red/WHT directly from the headlight to one side of the toggle swtich and ground the other.

 

So did you get this to work?
