Hey guys,

Please could you help me understand how the OEM ballast connection is working?

I manage to connect a third party HID ballast/bulb to replace the OEM one.
Using the yellow wire (+12v) and the brown wire (Neg)
It's working without any issue.

The problem is that the square connector is coming with terminals for the high beam/low beam accuator... and I don't understand how it works... I don't know how to connect them and to power the accuator, so no high/low beam feature...


There are 2 wires for the accuator : black/yellow and green...


I tried to connect a multimeter to check the voltage : 0v

Found something interresting from :

brown = ground
yellow = power to ignite the lamp. Ok on both, both lamps work.
green = There's two green wires on the pin, one goes to the solenoid. I get 12V on both left & right only when flashing high beam
black/white = the other solenoid wire.
