Hello all, long time no post,

I think ive seen a few locosts with dominator headlights on so i thought i'd ask the question of how these badboys are wired.

Its actually for a motorbike so i have live and earth for both dipped and main from the bike.

Then this web of spaghetti i need to connect on to?




Any ideas!?

Sorry about picture size laddos!

Many thanks for any help.

Urrrm, well, the run a standard H4 bulb, which gives you ground/dipped/main and a standard side light, which gives you earth and sidelight.

If you currently have deicated earths for dipped and for main these can most likely be commoned and jointed to the common earth.

Do you have wires for sidelights too? dont know much about bikes, but as they are bike lights and have them, i presumably atleast some bikes have sidelights?

This is standard info I have if queried:-

Headlamp Wiring

Inside the base of the headlamp you can see the sidelamp so it is easy to separate the yellow & white wires for the sidelamp wiring. It doesn’t matter which of these is used as positive & which as earth as the sidelamp unit is not earthed to any part of the headlamp.

The other 3 wires you now have are:-

Black with white tracer – Earth

White – Dip Beam

Yellow – Main Beam

The wiring as given above seems right, and i use them on my car, but this is part of the C+U regs......

PART II Requirements relating to optional dipped-beam headlamps

1. In the case of a vehicle with three or more wheels having a maximum speed exceeding 25 mph first used on or after 1st April 1991, two and not more than two may be fitted and the only requirements prescribed by these Regulations in respect of any which are fitted are–(a)those specified in paragraphs 2(c), 4, 7, 10 and 12(a) of Part I,
(b)that they are designed for a vehicle which is intended to be driven on the right-hand side of the road,
(c)that they form a matched pair, and
(d)that their electrical connections are such that not more than one pair of dipped-beam headlamps is capable of being illuminated at a time.

here is a link to the law on this subject....

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1989/1796/schedule/4/made

If your car is registered after 1/4/91

YOU CANNOT HAVE ALL 4 DIP BEAMS LIT AT THE SAME TIME.

I'm trying to wire up my dominator headlights at the moment. This thread was relevant to my interests but my wiring colours coming out of the headlights are different (I bought them about 4 years ago if that makes a difference?). They are White, Green, Blue, Brown, Black. No tracers, all solid colours. Can anyone advise on what's what?

Edit: found the answer

Sounds as tho' you have the single dominators rather than the twins shown above, I can only answer for the wiring on the ones I sell, but yours sound the same:-

Black & brown are sidelamp wires, can be connected either way round as sidelamp is not earthed to headlamp. On headlamp wiring, Green is Earth, White is Dip, Blue is Main
