Thread: DIETZ headlight wire colors?

Tweet

i have some dietz headlights that say 9-82 SAE-H on them
problem is i dont know what wire is what.
i have
red
green
blue
yellow
can any of you guys throw me a bone here?
thanks!

Billy,
My Dietz were only three wire (red low beam, green high beam, black ground) so yours must have a marker lamp internal? My guess is that they will be red low, green high, blue ground and yellow marker. You likely know this, but you can check continuity/resistance to verify the colors - clamp one lead on your blue wire, and you should see continuity to the red with some resistance for the low beam filament, continuity to the green with a higher resistance for the high beam, and then continuity with a much lower resistance for the marker. If that checks than a quick check with a hot wire from your battery to the yellow, red and then green will verify the colors.

I GOT THIS FROM A BUDDY

Red High beam
Blue Low beam
Green Park light
Yellow Turn
Grounded through the mount.
