260z Headlamp Wiring Help - WIRING TEST RESULTS NOW INCLUDED
UPDATED AT BOTTOM WITH SOME TEST RESULTS
Hello yet again.
Im having some trouble wiring up my headlamps. Ive got 4/5 wires coming out the side of the car and ive got 4 wires sticking out the back of the lamp (1 Earth Wire for both Sidelight and Lamp Earthing - Sidelight Positive - Main Beam Pos - Dipped Beam Pos).
I was using the method of first finding the earth that came from the car - managed that - plugged it in.
Then turning the stalk to sidelight then trying to find the positive supply coming from the several wires - however there wasnt one. I managed to find a positive for the dipped beam but again nothing for the main beam. So its a bit all over the show. Now im sure i thought i heard something about the wiring on the headlamps being a bit strange and that they were permanently live and then the earth was used for the switch. Is this right? Can anyone help me out with this one. Most greatful as always!!!
