how to wire us ellipsoids

[ClassicSkril]

i have sealed beam and already have the ellipsoid pigtails. i want to do a plug and play setup. pics would be very helpful

It's wire color for wire color. You will have an unused wire on the low beam plug.

This topic has been discussed here rather extensively, searching will net you more information than you ever wanted to know about headlights.

heres what you do:

1)crimp spade connectors on the end of the two wires for the US Elips pigtails
2)turn on low beams
3)plug in the ground
4)plug the other end into one of the other slots (50-50 shot of getting it right, if you tried the wrong one, try the other slot)
5)repeat for the other side and both high beams.

I have seen that diy euro ellip install. what would be helpful is what colors go where I have heard that the colors are the same. wiring diagram or even somebody popping their hood and taking a good photo of the wiring would really help

this is a great way to go at it also same as i did even though the colors matched i still did it this way just to be on the safe side not complicated at all in the link i posted it tells u what wires to us for example the headlight wires are as follows:
Brown - All grounds
White/Blue - Passenger Side High Beam Positive
Yellow/Blue - Passenger Side Low Beam Positive
White/Purple - Driver Side High Beam Positive
Yellow/Purple - Driver Side Low Beam Positive

the wires that are left just cap, shrink wrap etc....
