Headlight wiring.....help!
On the headlights, there is 3 contacts, must be ground, low beam, high beam. Which is what?
The contacts are something like this.....what I can remember...
X X
X
is the lowest one ground? and the top 2 are low/high beams? Are high and low interchangeable as long as you have them wired the same way on both builbs?
Edit, the X's dont line up like how I had them...it's supposed to be like an upside down pyramid.

Steve,
If I understand your question correctly, as you look at the back of the headlight, the verticle spade on the left is ground, the verticle spade on the right is high beam and the horizontal spade on the top is low beam.
Here's a wiring diagram for 53-55 for reference.
Good Luck,
Kent

Inspite of this question, while I was tinkering outside, looking at my half done wiring job, I decided to put the wiring panel to a different location. I just dont like where it is right now, it's on the firewall dead center at the top. I think I'm going to put it at the rear of the cab and make a fancy cover for it or something.
