Default Headlight wiring help

Bought a new headlight and it has many more wires then my original and not being an electrician I a need help. Stock has a White Yellow and a black.

New headlight has two yellow, one with a connector on the end. One white and two black. Now one black inside goed from the connector to the bucket. the other goes from the bucket out.

Why two black and why two yellow?


thanks

Thumbs up

Does your new light have a high beam indicator built in to the top of the housing?
So where in SE Pa are you? I'm in southern Lancaster county. If you aren't too far away, I may be able to give you a hand.

Thanks. And thanks for the offer. I am 5 min south of Philadelphia international Airport.

I installed the light tonight using the original wiring and plug.

Just wondering why the replacement has so many extra wires.


Thanks again
