Headlight wiring Question

[darkwolf29a]

This is as good a picture as I have, until I get home. Then I can retake my own.

So...here's my question

I recognize the 3 prong connector for the headlights. But...there are 2 single wires, one white and one yellow. I'm not sure what those are for, and they don't seem to have a place to go on my 83 KZ650.

ANyone have any thoughts as to what those are?

The old single headlight has nothing more than the 3 prong connector, so I'm not sure what to do with those other wires, but tape them off and hope for the best.

Thanks

Bah, nevermind. I call the place I bought the lights from. They state that those wires are only used in Europe. Sine Europe doesn't require headlight to be on, those wire control to tiny lights in the front that do need to be on all the time.

They said, "Cut them as short as you can and tape them off."

I was gonna say hook 'em up, and put your tongue on them!

LOL. Yeah, that's about what I was thinking...That's the redneck southern in me talking. But, I thought a call to the dealer might save a bit of pain. LOL

I am going to hook up the light and make sure it works before cutting those wires, just in case.

Just trying to help LOL

hehe. And I much appreciate it.

Honestly, I can't wait to get the new exhaust on, and the new headlight in. Then, it's just new front tire, another rotor, and she'll be ready for this riding season, I think.

I'm dualizing her front brakes. So, I have to find another rotor, and hope that one of two front rims I have works. Then, just a bit of fab work to fit the ZX-6 calipers, hook up the new front forks.

Then, I'll order my new turn signals and taillight.

Then, I'll worry about finishing the sculpture for the new fairing, and create it. Yeah, it's an art project to keep me out of trouble.

Then...it's all about the new seatpan and rear end, which will add a covered cargo box, elimnate the two up seat and the rear fender.

Gonna look radically different once she's all done.

Good luck on everything. I've been making myself crazy by looking up parts and haven't even seen the bike. But will be ready when I get her! Maybe will see it this weekend, maybe I can talk the guy into a visitation!

[darkwolf29a]

Take pictures, if you get to.

I must admit, I like VERY much being able to place hands on mine, even if they come away frozen, at the moment. LOL

Yeah, that's what the guy said on the phone. I wish I could hook them up, but...not really worth rewiring the bike for lights I can't, legally, use in the US.
