    Headlight Wiring

     



    Just like most other car stuff I know nothing about electrical. I have new king bee headlights with 3 wires. The black is the ground, a solid red and a red with a white stripe. Does it matter how I hook up the other two red ones?

    If they are the 3 prong lights, then when looking at the back side of the bulb with the single prong horizontal at the top, the left side prong will be from the , the left one will be fed from the "high beam" side of your dimmer switch, the right side prong will be the ground, and the horizontal top prong will be fed by the "low-beam" side of your dimmer switch.
