OP Smokin Greenhorn Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 47 Isle of Man	I bought a headlight like this from the states to fit on my 06 Speedy. The light has a red & yellow wire coming out of it, but can't see where they would wire in on my bike as the loom seems to have six wires going into three locations on the headlight. Has anyone else tried to do this or can anyone offer me any advice on wiring it up please?

However, here in the states one pair of wires is for a small parking light bulb in the headlight housing (that bulb housing/connector shorted out soon after purchasing the bike and I just disconneced it permanently). --Tom 02 TBA; 130 mains; TBS; Nology Coils&Wires;Unifilter/opened Airbox; -AI/snorkels; -2 baffles;Progressive 440s & Springs

You'll have to get a battery and test the light. I betting the shell is ground and one color is low beam and one color is high. I think the blue/red is low and the blue/white is hi in the headlight connector. You'd have to attach the ground wire to the shell if that's the case with your new light. The only other wires I know of are that silly "parking" light. (but I haven't looked recently). A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

On the original light, high is blue/yellow stripe and low is blue/red stripe. You might have to connect the shell to the earth (ground) wire which is black.
