RobinW Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Hi can you help pls - am building a Sport 1600 - all new module build. Am ready to wire in the headlights but am not sure which wires on the headlamp units are for main beam, dip beam and side lamps. I have Red, Black, Blue&white plus Blue&red coming from the headlamp units. Assume Black goes to black on wiring loom. So I have three others for main beam, dip beam and sidelamp. Any ideas which is which? Thanks a lot! Quote
Sam-Kit car dreams Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 It does tell you which is which in the build manual ! The colours below are from my build manual Blue/white is main beam Blue/red is dip beam Red is side lights Black is earth You need to connect them to the following on the car harness Right hand side Blue/White to Blue/slate on car Blue/red to blue/pink on car Red to red/black on car black to black Left hand side Blue/white to slate/blue on car Blue/red to blue/pink on car Red to red/orange on car black to black Quote

I was thinking the same bu didnt like to say ! I know my way round a car but still read the book ! I think its more the case of "couldnt find the wiring instructions in the bit of the build manual i was looking at" Quote
smithydar Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 i thought i'd say something. i'd hate for someone to go through all that expense of building a car only to connect the battery and find it on fire coz of wrongly connected wiring. best advise is to follow a wiring diagram and double check it before connecting a battery. if you dont have a diagram ring westfield and get one. this is just friendly advise no offence meant towards robin. i just no and have seen the consequences of wiring wrongly connected and it aint pretty or a cheap fix. and apparently this site is all about friendly advise sam.lol lol lol sorry mate couldnt resist.lol and anyone else reading this .was meant as a joke.!!!

Sam-Kit car dreams Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Totally agree with you Smithy, a wiring harness isnt the easiest thing to have to change if it fries when the battery is connected. It is nice to be so friendly here and give advice too ! Quote
