My '36 has been completely rewired with a spectacular harness from Tyree Harris. It's still 6v positive ground and all the connections are great. It's a 6v bulb. But the wiring colors for the headlight socket aren't the same, so I don't what goes to what. See picture, where black is left, green is bottom, red is right. For example, the car has Yellow (parking), Red (low beam), and Green (high beam). But the socket has Black, Green, Red. Seems simple I suppose, that yellow must align with black. But I am not so sure. Currently it doesn't light up when I hook it red/red, green/green, yellow/black, but that could be because I'm not getting a good ground, or the car needs to be running, or something else. Any advice? Thanks.

You haven't said if one end is hooked up to a switch ..... the interior steering column. Also, the headlight body is the ground. If wired correctly the car does not need to have the ignition on. This message was edited by Mr Rogers on 9-5-20 @ 3:33 PM

That is a sealed beam bulb connector. It looks like it may be for 12 volt lights. Did you tell Tyree that your car is stock 6 volt POS ground? Looking at the socket side, the top connector is low beam, the right connector should be ground and the left connector should be high beam. If you still have the bulb lights, and want to replace the headlight wires, you will have to order the 48-13076 harness. Tom
