    Euro Smiley ground wire?

    Hello everyone, I recently picked up a set of Euro Smilies, but unfortunately it didn't come with the wiring connected. I purchased the Guten Parts kit (great customer service btw!) and am now ready to put them in. Can anyone confirm which side is the ground wire for each plug? I'm coming from an early model, sealed beam E30. Thank you all.

    Doesn't technically matter, but brown/anything is always the ground.

      It's very easy to tell because it's the wire that goes to the housing and not the bulb in this case (H1 bulb)

        I think I asked the wrong question actually. So in the back of each plug, 6 plugs total, 1 for each of low beam, high beam and city lights, does it matter which wire I connect those into on my existing headlight wiring?

          Yes of course it matters. You need to convert the connectors over or make an adapter. There are several write ups on what needs to be done.

            Apologies, all the write ups I've been able to find have been with the wiring still attached to the Euro headlights and not all wires being exactly the same color. I'll try searching some more.
