Wiring Headlights
6 volt (don't thing that matters.)
Three prongs... as viewed looking at the back of the headlight itself....
One prong on left, one top center (this could confuse everything if you had the center on at the bottom, which would reverse the left and right...)
And one on the right...
I believe the center one is ground.
Which would be LOW beam and which would be HIGH beam?
No markings on the headlight itself.
(Re-wiring phase.)
THANKS in advance,

DUH..... Sorry guys, this is always the FIRST place I turn to for help.... 
BUT, sometimes it helps to LOOK at your parts... the new headlight pigtails DO have markings...
AND
I was wrong.... larger center post is NOT ground.
Post on left ground
Top center is marked "PASS" which is passing or High
Right post is "DRIVE", or Low beam?
I discovered this when I was about to try hot wiring wires...
