Make the connections at the headlight bucket

Civilian dash

  1. The yellow/black wire with the 4 mm male bullet terminal may be configured in one of two ways: as a lights on indicator OR as a high beam indicator.
    • To configure as a lights on indicator: The yellow/black wire with the 4 mm male bullet terminal is plugged into the far left side of the distribution panel: into the second left/front receptacle (count from the left as when facing the headlight bucket).

      Note: On early V700 models, the distribution panel does not have an extra position to wire as a lights on indicator. You will need to configure as a high beam indicator instead.

    • To configure as a high beam indicator: The yellow/black wire with the 4 mm male bullet terminal is plugged into the far right side of the distribution panel: into the left most receptacle (count from the left as when facing the headlight bucket).
  2. The white wire with the 4 mm male bullet terminal is plugged into the far left side of the distribution panel: into the third left/front receptacle (count from the left as when facing the headlight bucket).
  3. The white/black wire with the 4 mm male bullet terminal is plugged into the bottom of the fuse block: into receptacles five (count from the left, as when facing the headlight bucket).
  4. The brown wire with the 4 mm male bullet terminal is plugged into the top of the fuse block: into receptacle eight (count from the left, as when facing the headlight bucket).
  5. The red wire with the 4 mm male bullet terminal is plugged into the top of the fuse block: into receptacle three (count from the left, as when facing the headlight bucket).
