headlight...

Single bulb?

if so one to black, one to green or yellow.

If double, wire one bulb to sidelight wiring, and other as above, that way you get both lights on main.

yeah they are double bublb, and i am confused because i have 4 wires just for my main beam wich has only 2 wires on the bulb?
i been told to wrap the two yellow wires into one and earth the green? is that right because it dont work haha?

a little confused myself reading this, do you mean the four wires on the loom connector block? i believe one is earth then you have live for low beam, live for high beam and live for pilot light, as Ifitdontworkillburnit said thats a good way to wire it as you get get a high/low beam as the halogen lights only have the one filament

Yeah i dont get what you mean by 4 wires for main beam either tbh. maybe a pic would help?

On my bike the headlight plug has one Black (earth), one green(low) and two yellow in same connector(high)

so i wired the 2 halogen bulbs as so

Bulb 1:

wire 1 - Black (earth)

Wire 2 - blue/red ( sidelight +)

Bulb 2:

wire 1 - black (earth)

wire 2 - Yellow (high)

i mean the 4 wires on the loom side, and 2 on the bulb side, sorry for the mix up, right so out of my loom i have 2 yellow one black one green, what should i connect the green to?

Ifitdontworkillburnit · DTR Respected Member

Bulb 1:

wire 1 - Black (earth)

Wire 2 - blue/red ( sidelight +)

Bulb 2:

wire 1 - black (earth)

wire 2 - Yellow (high) OR Green (low)

Whichever one you dont use just leave mate. I put the Bulbs on spade connectors and just slotted em straight into the original headlight plug. if you no longer have a plug, just tape up the spare wire and tuck it out way :)

ok as you can see from the pic, can someone tell me what wire goes where, i.e colour there are two top wires coming from a single bulb in the headlight, what colours do i connect to these?

jakeDT125 · DTR Senior Member

so because i just want to use high beam from this light because im using my parking light as the other i leave out the green?

Ifitdontworkillburnit · DTR Respected Member

Thinking about things properly, im gonna change my advice ever so slightly ( and also re do my light wiring tomorrow!)

right, ignore the yellows, tape em up out the way.

Connect one light to black and green.
Connect the other light to the same black, and to the blue/red wire from the sidelight bulb holder.

That way you will control your high/low beam ( 1 or 2 bulbs) just with the right hand side light switch.
Sidelight will bring on one bulb. main will bring on both bulbs.

Hello I'm having a great deal of bother getting my dt125re
Aftermarket headlights to work.

I have an aftermarket headlight with standard halogen
Lights in, I am trying to wire them up so my hi and lo beam work
But I don't know what goes where?

I have 2 yellow wires, 2 black wires, 1 brown wire and one green wire
I have no clue how to connect them as there are so many wires going to
Just 2 connectors on the bulb its self, and ontop of that there's 2 bulbs
So its even more confusing what wires go where.

I am waiting to put my bike through its mot and I urgently need
My hi and lo beam to work, could anyone tell me what wires need to go where
It would be much appreciated, ring or text me rather than replying on here
