Lightbulb Headwind Headlight Installation Help

I have a 2003 FXSTDI and am going to replace the headlight with a Headwinds Headlight. I think I have it under condtrol but would like some input. The light has only two wires and no instructions, a yellow wire and red wire not sure which one is high/low beam yet. My understanding is the ground is thru the housing to the frame. The bike harness has four wires, black which is the ground, yellow and white which go to the high low switch, and orange/white which is not related to the headlight but the right turn signal. My guess is since the white wire goes to the high beam indicator light then the white wire must be for the high beam at the connector to the headlight, this would make the yellow light the low beam. My deduction is that the yellow wire on the head light would be low beam and the red wire would be the high beam. Any inputs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ride Free!!

Default Re: Headwind Headlight Installation Help

Hey Bud

First off,, I bet your hunch is correct and I wouldn't doubt you've already done this experiment while waiting for a reply..


Here's what I would do-- connect them as you think they should be and light em up,, if they need to be reversed, simply do that then you're good to go..
Too easy..
