Quick help needed. High beam wire?
Redoing my wiring right now for the kc's up top and am fusing it into the oem fog assembly. long story short the factory wire splice is tapped into the low beam wire...the lights will come on only with low beams activated. I want to splice it into the high beam wire instead, thus all the lights coming on when i flip the highs on. the wire cluster is set back in there and set together all nice and neat so i'm trying not to test tap 30 wires. if anyone knows what color the high beam wire is please let me know while everything is out..it's getting dark soon! thanks guys

ok i've narrowed the 3 wires down that come out of the headlight. red/yellow, red/green, red/blue, the tap has been on the red/yellow so that leaves green and blue...any knowledge? i know it sounds easy to just check each one but its a whole different story when you're up under the dash

ok well the red/green doesn't come through the firewall it's 2 red/yellow and a red/blue, i cut the red/yellow, turns out it was my corner lights, cut the other one and nothing happened. i'm confused but leaving it for now the nights coming in

I wouldn't expect the color at the headlight plug to match anything under the dash as that wire presumably dies at the fuse & relay box a little aft of the battery. I would also expect that the interlock between the fogs and lo/high heads is done there. Have you identified where the existing circuit is? If the light stalk is providing a ground to the dimmer relay coil only at low, there may not BE a wire under the dash that will give you the signal you want. If so, you will have to tap from the headlight plug or the fuse/relay box on the other side of the firewall. Hopefully someone with the wiring diagram can shed some light here.
