Default 2009 fatbob Daymaker swap -help

Got a daymaker from my coworker and wanting to put it on my 2009 fatbob in place of my dual headlights.... I plan on getting a 7" drag specialties housing to put it in but my problem is the wiring connection. Looks like the daymaker uses a 4 pin delphi connector and while I haven't taken my headlight apart, my understanding is factory uses h4 for the two lights. Is there a 4pin delphi connector to h4 adaptor available or anybody have wiring diagrams available to guide me in matching the wires up? I have experience with wiring but don't know what the pinouts for the 4 pin delphi connector are.

There were early adaptors for daymakers from H4 or H9/H11 to Metri-pak 150 (for 13-earlier tourings) and later they did a Metripak 150 on main harness on 14+ Tourings so no adaptors used for LED headlight. I actually not sure but domestic Fatbobs AFAIR have H13 bulbs not H4 and Dyna headlights have the harness which was the internal part of the headlight housing to connect it to main harness so best way is to crimp your own jumper from OEM Multilok on main harness to Metri-pack 150 in your 7" housing

That's helpful....but i have another question regarding the fatbob harness. From my understanding, the light bulb uses the 3 blade h4 connector with the white, yellow, and black wire....but...is there a loose orange and white wire for the accessories?

I see harley harley adaptors(part # 69201470 and 69201070, the latter NOT having the Accessory wire) but if I went to the auto store, I can make the same connection to half or forth the money. I'm not sure about that orange and wire accessories wire.

Again. Domestic Fat Bob dual headlight uses H13 bulbs, not H4. So harley H4 to Metripak 150 adaptor won't work here. Your best choice is what i said before - crimp up 4-pin Multilok on your main harness to 4-pin Metri-pack on the LED light female-female adaptor by youself. It's simple and cheap. It will be orange/white to D, white to C, yellow to B and Black to A. (see connectors 38 i've marked on both witing diagrams).
Orange/White is a constant power which is used to feed a park or running light on International models as far as some extra lights like halo or strips or dots on many aftermarket LED headlights. Harley Daymakers do have those running lights too so if you make the 4 wire jumper the way i describe the light will work fully with switching lo-hi and extra constant running lights.
