Default Led Headlight install help

Hi Guys I just got a new led headlight in the mail. For a 2018 Street Glide
its a sunpie clone
I got the light, mounting ring and a wiring adaptor. The headlight has a 3 prong plug and also 2 wires that have the push on type connectors.
The Bike has a connection that’s flat and has 4 slots, the wires from left to right are blue and then blue with a white stripe and then blue with a green/tan stripe and then black.
The end that plugs into that which goes to the high and low beam bulbs has 3 wires
blue with a white stripe then blue with a green/tan stripe and then a black wire.
yhe adaptor plug has the 3pin plug like the new headlight . The other end is not the same shape that would plug into the bike but does has 3 wires. Blue,White and Black.
do you know how this gets wired? Do I have
to cut and splice the 3 wires and the adaptor plug?
The light with the 2 push on style connector are probably for the Halo.
i need help and will post pictures if I can.
Thanks
Dale

you unplug the factory harness that has the high beam and low beam connections, it goes into a single connection up in the headlight bucket. The adaptor harness that came with your light will plug into the factory connection

Also, if you have a halo style headlamp then you’ll plug the small male wire into the small female on the harness plug.

OMG! Not another...why doesn’t my Chinese knockoff headlight fit my Harley thread? Because when they copied the design of the daymaker, someone spilled rice on the light, and someone copied that into the design.

If you have interference from the LED headlight with the radio like I did you can pick up a suppressor/filter to eliminate the noise in the radio.
