Well in a hurry and disonnected my dimmer swicth witout remembering where my 3 wires connect. there is a light blue, tan and light green wires, I'm almost sure the light green, the upper beam goes in the middle.Now, does the battery (light blue) go on top of the switch or the bottom? 1 more question on the head light switch does it ground to the dash board when you tighten up the nut or do you ground it with a wire from the swicth itself? Thank you.........

your dimmer switch does not need a ground. All it does is send + to either high or low beams. Sorry, I don't know off the top of my head which wires go where, should be real easy to figure out with an ohm meter though.

The light blue is the power switch. The light green is high beam. Tan is low beam. If you hook the power wire to the correct term. it doesn't matter which ones go to the other terms. The light switch grounds through the metal dash. It has to be grounded for the dome light to work off of it.

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
