Default Rewiring headlights to Toggle Switch



Can someone tell me what exactly the low and high beams are on this diagram?

I need to know what pins to jump for lows (D/E or G/I?) and for highs (G/I/J?).

I am unsure as to how the dimmer switch is used.

I have a 90 std hb, so this diagram may not be accurate (crx).

Should be the same as a crx, lows are the 2 light diagrams, highs are the single light with straight points of light coming out of it (Same as on the dash when you turn highs on (if you have a highs indicator))

So in otherwords, D/E for lows, G/I for highs.

You should be able to follow these lights back through the steering column, and get a 6 post switch with 3 settings, and wire it up accordingly.

The dimmer looks like it works by bridge G/I to either F or J depending on if its supposed to be dimmed low or on full. I would leave the dimmer on the dash if i were you. I assume this is where it is if its like a crx.

The multi switch (w/ levers) was broken when I got my car.

I figured it wouldn't be too hard to wire up a toggle to the headlight switch. I already figured out the turn signals, which were easy. I have no wipers so I didn't want to buy another whole multi switch.

This is all for my street legal drag car (no DD).

I'm also wiring up a push button start and ignition toggle (just for fun). If anyone could help, it is here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1990856
