need help wiring acerbis headlight ok well my diamond acerbis came in today. I have a 05 636. i took everything off and ect. Now i unplugged the headlight assembly from the wiring harness. First off all there intructions they send me are ****. The wires on the light are not even colored or nothing. Now on the harness itself i need to kno which colors each one is. i know the green is ground and as far as the wires go on the headlight. Can anybody explain how to do this properly? i dont wanna cut into my wiring harness.

Re: need help wiring acerbis headlight
get a digital multimeter.
all you have to do to ground the acerbis wires is crimp a eyehole connector onto them and ground it to the frame somewhere.
for power. jsut use the 12v meter ont he digi multimeter and see what has 12v power when the key is on. and doesnt when its off. then run a switch in the power wire.
done. its easy. i did it in like 3.5 minutes.

i used the wires that ran to my front blinkers....you should have three for each blinker....one for ground one for blinker and one that is just a running light
that will save you from cutting the harness

Re: need help wiring acerbis headlight
why do you insist on finding the ground in the harness. if your soo set on not messing with the harness... ground the acerbis setup to the 10mm bolt that holds the front brake line still. its a ground just the same.
