ok. Here's my dumb question of the day. On my 49 gmc which I'm almost finished wiring. What is the proper orientation of the 3 wires to the sealed beam connector? I've enclosed a diagrM of what I think. But not 100% sure. I got the schematic and it shows high to outer terminals. Low to inner terminals. And ground to center terminal. Does that sound correct? Thanks John[img]https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthread...ame/15996890210888285932796376218110.jpg[/img]

John,
Here is your answer.
You can also test for your self. Place a jumper wire from Battery Neg. term to headlight Neg side. Take another jumper and run from Battery hot term and touch one or the other 2 open terminals on headlight. See which one is bright or dim.

Don't let it bother you John. We all have Doh moments. I have far too many as I get older.
