Hi everyone- So ive got a few options on this next conversion build and pulling the stock headlight -- I have extra headlamps from a few cb and SS builds and need some play by play on the best way to split and wire the following the following attachment to the stock ST4 headlight harness assembly -- This lamp comes as follows- 1 brown for parker lights - green ground - blue high beam ---white low beam - i have the stock wiring schematics so i need to jump over that and just give me the play by play-- hopefully it wont burn up to many pages on the thread :)

There is no ST4 headlight harness. The low and high beams are just leads going to the lamp holders. A positive and ground lead for each.

The parking lead could be connected to the running light lead.

Am I missing something?

Have a good one.

Thanks but Im looking at wiring - everything is stripped out so nothing coming from lamp holders. Im looking for which wire goes to where just for the headlight-- IE yellow to white .. the stock specific headlight wires to the aftermarket headlight pic shown -what to look for and how to connect - all the ends are there and now its taking them and connecting them together -- i need help identifying - hope that explains it better

There are color schematics posted in the Service Manual sticky.

Most folks will tell you that Duc wire colors can change with the mood of the folks on the assembly line. So, if you've already ditched the original connections, testing the leads is probably the better route.

Have a good one.

1st attachment -from a monster attached is what i could use

- looking for something like this in what the standard was regardless of the bologne assembly -- fun tour though went after ducati revs back in 01

2nd and 3rd attachment -im staring at the headlight 2 wires on both high and low beam bulbs-- ok so the wires attached i located and the next question is can i run a pair to a single ? try not to laugh but thats what im looking for. Since the stock has 2 wires to the bulb on the high beam do i run both wires to the single high beam wire on my aftermarket light? And do the same for the stock pair of wires to the low beam on the aftermarket light? What about the running light? How would i run that?
