[V8] Headlight relay - old thread...

[John Bysinger]

ok, I think I have everything I need, found this wiring diagram which has
the proper wiring color codes:

http://members.aol.com/audipage/eurowire.gif

The one thing I haven't found yet is the pinout for the euro headlight
connecter.  Or do the terminal numbers on the connector match the above
drawing?  There's 6 pins on each connector, but the drawing only lists 4,
maybe 2 are unused?   I've got the plastic connecter part w/ terminals, but
no wires...  It's numbered as follows (pardon my ascii drawing):

1-|O O|-2
3-|O O|-4
5-|O O|-6
     ||||---- wires

Anyone have this handy?  or have the euro harness to look at the wire
colors?
