I am trying to wire up my HID kit this way but I am confused aboNow that HID lighting has become VERY reasonable, we all want them, but at the same time, we need to protect our investment from premature wear and possible damage.
Also, I have a lightning, where somebody designed the lights to be one at a time. Most of us have modded the circuit to be "both on" or wire the low-beam light to an always on source. This is functional, but not sufficient for HID lighting.
I will show you how I re-wired my setup to be HID friendly.
Lets start with the stock left hand light controls.
The lightning gets a steady +12V source from the blue wire, and returns the voltage to the yellow (low beam) or the white (high beam), but NOT BOTH. The flash switch is just a momentary switch to supply power to the high beam.
Now to the fun part. I needed that momentary switch to have a dedicated return path, so I modded my harness to this.
ut thes wireing schematics. I can't find any wire configuration like this.
