i am in the middle of wiring my headlights for my flipfront and am wiring the main and dipped lights. Haynes says that one is a blue/white wire and the other a blue red wire but can anyone tell me which one of those is dipped and which is main beam please before i make a wild guess and connect them up wrong before it gets dark.

Thanks

Daniel

Hello Daniel,

This is what i've been told anyway:-

Wiring connections at the front of the car behind the grille:-

Earth is the Black wires
Sidelights are Red/Red with Green
Headlights are thick Blue with Red
Main Beam thick Blue with White

Is this wiring code set up the same for a Clubman? as i have tested my headlights and they seam to have two earths running off each headlight.. is this right or wrong??

[fikus01]

clubman is slightly different because of the sidelights being below the lights rather than in them!

Clubman or not, I don't believe Lucas changed the basic color codes for high/low beams even between other British makes. Blue/White to the high beams sounds right.

A quick check is to attach a test lamp to your existing Blue/White wire on the car and switch on the ignition and light switch. If your test lamp is on when the dimmer switch turns on the dash high-beam indicator... you've got the right wire.
