4 Headlights to 2
Happy Holidays to all early ! I have a 68 GMC that I converted over to a Chevy, Installed the core support and grill froma 67 chevy, finished off with a new pass side inner and outer fender to fix all the rust problems from a battery left in it for over 10 years. if I had to do it all over again I would have just used the repair patches for the core and pass side fender, but I do like the look of a chevy front end
 My question is how do I get the headlight to work ? All other componets work fine but I can't figure out how to rewire the 4 light down to 2............Thanks

Re: 4 Headlights to 2
You should just be able to cut the high beam plugs off of the harness. No other modification needed. WES

Re: 4 Headlights to 2
Check the dimmer switch to see if power is going out. They go bad being in the floor and exposed to the weather,,,rain,sand etc...

The connectors for the original 5 3/4" high-only (inner) lamps are ground and 12v high. As noted above, remove them (cap the ends) or let them dangle. Which are you missing at the lamp connectors -- 12vdc or ground? If the problem is not the dimmer, check the light switch (in the dash).

Re: 4 Headlights to 2
This may just confuse you, but if you remove the relays, here is a breakdown of the wireing.There is a blue wire(iirc)that feeds the dimmer.
