Headlight wires.. Which one does what.

[Thumper580]

I got a pair of 24volt high intensity headlight units 7" diameter. The three plug ins are in a upside down pyramid shape... Upper left, Upper right and bottom.
Wondering which one is hot, low and high beam. Thanks.

Take a look at this. 16 is ground, 17 shows as high and 18 low beam. Have heard some say 17 is low but this contradicts that.

17 is high

Thanks guys!!!!

 

[Thumper580]

17 is high

Any idea what the name/style of the rubber plug ins are called? It would be nice to use them to connect the new headlight connector to the existing plug ins. Thanks!!!((

That 16 is a 91. What ever happen to the guy that had all the trouble with the blinking flashing headlight??

Not a typo, CAMO

These connectors are called Packard connectors and are commonly available on Ebay or from places like Erik's Supply. As Cam says, there is no #16. #17 is the high beam line, #18 is the low beam line and #91 is ground. The schematics for the trucks are located in the back of TM 9 2320-280-20-3. For 90% of the truck wiring they're all the same. The main differences are with the higher amperage alternators, AC units and special purpose bodies like the ambulances.

So, using the same orientation of the stock headlight the plugs in the brighter headlight would be yellow=91, blue=18 and red=17....Yes.

Maybe ?? Roll the dice................. Are they 24 volt? Any paper work? Made where? Feel lucky?

Never been lucky in Vegas, CAMO

Dude, easy answer. Get 2 wires and connect to your battery or a 24V source. Then connect to the leads you identified in the order you described to see if you're right. Then post the answer.

Best,

All figured out. Red is hot, yellow is low and blue is high beam. Tested it on a 12 volt battery. The headlights are 24 v.

Do those fit in the oe bucket?

Do those fit in the oe bucket?

Yes, they are 7". I also bought Packard connectors so they can plug into the oem wiring plugs...

Here you go. Not sure if they are worth a damn but I'll give them a try. These have 24v bulbs in them.

No kidding. Sometimes I feel like the blind leading the blind....

With those lights, one should be the brightest kid on the site. LED or incandescent, hard to tell. I did read bulb?
