headlight wiring

paulvMember

Trying to track down why I have a dim headlight. I will clean the connectors behind the splash shields.
On the connector at the passenger headlight, are the wires 1 grey on the left-2 black in the center-1 green on the right(looking at it from the front of the car?
On the drivers side...1 orange/bk-2 black-1 gy/bk. I have read that on some cars these wires were in the wrong positions. Are mine correct?
Thanks,
Paul #3040

I do not know the answer to your question; although, I suspect it is wired right if it has worked this long. Cleaning the connector behind the splash shield corrected my dim headlight. I think that you are on the correct track.

There are some who advocate adding an additional ground wire from the connector to a local frame section for additional grounding. I did incorporate that mod as well; however, I am not sure it has mattered.

Check Section D here for a diagram.

Also check the contacts and fuses on fuse 1,2,5 &6. They may be old and corroded.

...Have You changed out the Sealed Beams, to New, Yet? Perhaps the Problem is a Older Bulb Growing Weaker! And Check the Voltage and 'Draw' Amperage AT the Bulb PLUG!...
