87sheerips Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 Well, i have the BHQ electrical pages printed out, and the diagram i have is faded away.... SO, im running stockers to begin with, and heres my plan (i only want high beams BTW).. Tell me if this will work or not Run the green wire (high beam correct?) up to one side of the switch. Extend the black (ground) wire from the main harness to the other side of the switch. Connect the green and black wires going to the lights, to the green and black wires on the lights. This should work right? to my knowledge green will be getting juice until its grounded. Please chime in! Thanks guys... I was told to just cap the other wires like blue, yellow w/red tracer, etc...

Bansh-eman Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) its a llittle bit differant then that... your lights will need the black and yellow for high beams.. for your switch you run the yellow and blue to one side. thats head lights and tail light... cant forget tail light and then there is a yellow with red stripe. this is your constant auxillery power... that goes to the other side of the switch. once you open your harness it will be more clear.

I was told to just cap the other wires like blue, yellow w/red tracer, etc... the black shouldnt go to the switch, the green should be your lows so cap that, the blue is for the tail light, cap or not if in use. The yellow/red is common power in, so you switch for only high should be yellow (from stator) or yellow/red from switch side to yellow on the light wire. if your not using the existing switch wires you just open/close the yellow from lights to yellow from the stator/regulator. If your using you tail light youll need a 2 pole switch or tie on your blue to tail lights in parallel with the switched side of your front lights. Quote

If your using you tail light youll need a 2 pole switch or tie on your blue to tail lights in parallel with the switched side of your front lights. ok so if i get this right... Run the yellow wire from the stator (high beam) to one side of the switch. And the yellow from the light to the other side. Thats all i need?? That yellow from the stator is common power correct?? ( the yellow wire that changes to yellow/red on the switch side that is) Im running a simple toggle, and want to clean things up a bit. I only want high beams. I thought i would need a ground? I dont have a tailight.. Quote

Only on the swich side there is a yellow/red. So i just follow that back, and use that corresponding solid yellow wire that is after the connector right? Quote
fastrthnu Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 well i think i got it, but there is no yellow/red coming from the stator. Only on the swich side there is a yellow/red. So i just follow that back, and use that corresponding solid yellow wire that is after the connector right? yep, if you just doing front lights high, all you have to do is yellow from stator (that normally connects to the yellow/red on switch) on one side o f switch and yellow from lights to the other side. Ground always stays grounded only. Quote
87sheerips Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Posted May 18, 2007 WOW didnt think it would be that simple. SO i can tie both the lights yellow wires together on one side of the switch. And yellow from the stator to the other and done. I just cap the black wires from the lights, or ground those? Quote

And yellow from the stator to the other and done. I just cap the black wires from the lights, or ground those? ground them. you can test this by splicing all yellows (3) together. blacks must be grounded. not the blacks that plug into the switch. those are for your kill. Just the ones out of the lights. Quote

Just the ones out of the lights. cool. so no problem tying them all in together. i.e have one ground for both lights, and one side of the awitch for the 2 yellow wires for each light? so for the finale.... Yellow from stator on one side of switch both yellows (one from each light) to the other side of the switch ground the ground wires from each light Quote

87sheerips Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Posted May 18, 2007 sweet, cant wait to get lights goin again. Now to find some cheapo car fog lights until i can afford better. Know of any brand to get that will stay around 30W a piece? Quote
Bansh-eman Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 if you look at the stock unit... it has the copper pads as connectors... it does the same thing but by touching to connectors to the corresponding wire... so the yellow and blue wire from the lights go on one side of yout switch... then the power (yellow /red wire goes on the other... the harness has the ground for all your lights... so you flip the switch and power goes from your yellow/red through your switch and toyour head nad tail lights.. its pretty ez onc you do it and see it ... but trying to read it and figure it out is a little more difficult Quote
