Headlight Wiring Help!

Could anyone tell me what the red & black off the harness do? I'm assuming headlight solenoid since there's both of these that follow the wiring for both headlights.

Then there's the Brown, blue and white wires which I have no clue about. Any guidance as far as those go?

The kid who wired these up before did a hack job, I've gotten a lot of it rewired and I'm trying to put it together out of the car so whether I keep it or decide to sell it it'll be ready to go as far as plug and play. Just trying to get it buttoned up.





Thanks,
Steve

Hey,
Hopefully someone with more knowledge on this than me will chime in... but I'll give it a go.

I think that brown/blue/white wire is missing the end for it, it looks clipped? I think that wire combination is suppose to be plugged in to the blue clip of the head light harness. The blue clip I am talking about is between "Ground" and "B" in your first picture, on the right hand side. There is also a certain order for those wires to be crimped to the blue plug for your high beams to work.

I also think that you are right on the solenoid, as they're on both sides.


In the picture below, look at the blue circle, that's what I think you're missing.

I can get a plug off a harness or something and give that a shot. How come the high beams would only be connected through 1 headlight though? I guess I don't get how the harness understands that or how it works not being connected to both.

I have a bunch of male/female ends so I'll rig something up or just solder them and shrink tube it for the solenoid.

Thanks Intel, anyone else able to clarify on the brown/blue/white?

I do not know the answer to your question, but when I did mine I only had to plug it through one head light.

I've been googling some stuff all morning and I found someone said the blue plug hooks into the factory car harness, not sure if that's on the car harness side or the headlight harness side but I'm going to take a stab at it and see what works. I'll have to get myself a blue plug or just hardwire it in for testing but we'll see where it takes me.

Thanks
