Headlight housing wires

Post by Jim Stuart » Sat Mar 15, 2008 9:25 am

I find many wire connectors in the headlight housing not hooked to anything. Just a few female bullet connecters hanging out. What were they for?

I believe gray is the other color, and that woul come from the flasher unit. Are these the wires you are reffering to?

The spare colours you should have are orange, light blue & grey. The l/bl & gy are repeated beneath the seat where the stop/tail connectors exit the harness; l/bl is right trafficator, orange is left.
At the engine harness junction beneath the air boxes there is a pair of unused receptacles also, which need extending to connect to a flasher unit: black & grey; blk is +12v (ign on) and gy is the lamps' supply via the trafficator switch. Most flasher units are marked thus: X = +12v, L = lamps, P = pilot. P can be ignored unless you wish to install a mimic lamp somewhere in the headlamp or buzzer beneath the seat(?).
The trafficator switch connects to the 3 receptacles in the headlamp: gy to centre, l/bl for right & or for left. The or & l/bl are double receptacles allowing connection of the switch and the front winkies.

Hope this clarifies. Regards,

Steve
