Headlamp Wiring
I just bought a Drag Specialties headlamp to replace my stock headlamp. Laid the bike down and dented it up a little bit. So this new headlamp comes with 1 White wire, 1 Yellow wire and 2 Black wires. The stock headlamp has 1 Yellow, 1 White, and 1 Black.
The plug on the bike has 1 White, 1 Yellow, 1 Black, and 1 Orange/White. Can someone help me out here. First, with the new wires, I know to match up white and yellow to each other but which black one do I use?
And last, since the stock only had three, does that mean the Orange/white just never had anything plugged into it?
Pictures: 1st is the new wires in the Drag Specialties headlamp I got
2nd is the plug attached to the bike
3rd is the extra wire which I'm taping off cause I believe it just goes to the passing lamps which I don't use
Thanks for the help guys

I'm pretty new to the wiring aspect of the game myself but I can tell you what I would do. I would just try one black wire, if that didn't work I would replace it for the other black wire.
I replaced my own headlight by I don't have passing lamps on my rocker. It's not that big of a hassle to replace the black wires in the little plastic clip.
Good luck bud.

yes, looking at the wiring diagram, the orange/white goes to the switches on the hand controls. if both black ones come from ground, should i match a black one up with the orange/white?
