hawksoob Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 The new harness has red, green, and black wires. The wires coming from the car are red, red with blue stripe, and yellow with blue stripe. Which splices to which? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawksoob Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 what car (year, model, engine) are you putting this into, and what headlight setup is it? that'll help... Sorry about that. Got in a rush 96 Legacy Outback, 2.2. It's the driver's side headlight. The connector harness for the 9003 bulb. The thing melted and I want to replace it.

Suzam Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I replaced the one in my 95 a while back. Since the plug has 2 vertical and 1 horizontal blade if you look at the old plug (or the passenger side one) it's fairly easy to tell which wire goes to which blade, then you know which of the new colors go by matching the blade positions.

Makes much sense. Tried it. The bulb lights up and nothing sparked, exploded, or melted, so I think I'm good to go. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEDE Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hi, My 96 legacy wagon has the SAME problem in the Passenger light. It has a low beam no high though. We Put a new pigtail in and still it won't fix that problem. Have you gotton any help on it? DEDE Sorry about that. Got in a rush 96 Legacy Outback, 2.2. It's the driver's side headlight.

We Put a new pigtail in and still it won't fix that problem. Have you gotton any help on it? DEDEWelcome to the forum. Judging by "The bulb lights up and nothing sparked, exploded, or melted, so I think I'm good to go.", I'd say hawksoob solved the problem. Let's see if we can narrow down the possible causes of your inoperative passenger-side high beam. Since the low beam works, that eliminates the fuse and headlight relay for that side. Assuming the driver's side high beam works, the light switch can't be causing the problem. That leaves either wiring/connections or the high-beam filament in the headlamp itself is open. Do you have a 12 volt test lamp or a volt-ohmmeter to check things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB99W Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 By the way, even if you tried a new headlamp, don't assume if it didn't work that the problem has to be elsewhere. I've seen new lamps with open filaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
