    There is no way to have a 1 wire hi-lo beam headlight. Look at the back side of a bulb (or a socket) and you will have 3 terminals or wires. Hi/Low/Gnd. You need this socket (or at least 3 connectors) - available at any parts store for five bucks or less. There is a white wire there too, but hard to see

    It's one wire. Uses H1 bulb. The ground wire grounds to the bucket. I found 'Oscar' on the bucket - perhaps Cibie Oscar's..... I like the look of the concave glass.
