When I put my car back together after the paint job, the head lights were dim on low, I thought I had a bad ground but doing some investigating, I think I have the ground on the wrong terminal, I found a wiring diagram for the H4 bulbs
so FWIW looking at the connectors, if the diagram doesnt post correctly top terminal is low
left terminal is ground right terminal is high beam
.. low
.... _
gr | | high

so I will check when I get home

might have been wired wrong since I installed them

oops

Hondo, did you remove the wiring out of the connector, because the wiring is the same
 
Yes I did, I put new connectors on with new heaver gauge wiring and relays
and for some reason I always thought the center post was the ground

Hondo
 
No it's not

It's been a while and instead of trapesin down the stair,again, I thought I'd be lazy and look it up. Hope this is correct
 
hey don yes the center post is not the ground, but good to know your wiring backs up my wiring I had the ground on the wrong terminal


good to go now
