Thread: which wire is low beam

Why not use a test light instead of guess?

the cheep tester is like 2 or 3 bucks just stick the probe end into the socket when the low beams are on. keep testing the slots till it lights up.

Test light and a digital multi meter are two tools I don't use all the time, but I could not live without. They've helped cure many issues, and they took a whopping $20 total out of my pocket.

i love when i get the call from friends that their trailer wires got pulled out of the plug, and they cant make the trailer lights work, i show up with a 3 dollar test light and make it work.

Thats like something I did years back.

In 3000GT/Stealths people like to upgrade from the 1st generation front to the 2nd generation front. Its some basic body part swaps and some cutting and welding in the headlight bucket area. Other than that a quick wiring job to swap headlight harnesses.

Well when I first joined that forum in 03 people could not figure out how to make the swapped cars headlights work like a stock 94-99. See on the 94-99 low beams stay on when you switch to high beam. The way people were wiring it, the low beam would switch off. So in 04 I had a 92 here that I was 2nd gen swapping because of a wreck it was in. It took me literally FIVE minutes to figure out what everyone's issue was. All it took was a simple added ground wire.

I posted up a schematic of what I did, and people thought I was some kind of electrical god. Funny thing was I was a relative newb to electrical, and really still am.
