hey dudes, probably an old post but just got some headlights, (like the acerbis twin ones), both lights have 2 wires out the back. do one of the wires on each light go to ground and how should i do the other wires? just link one to the lowbeam and one to high? i want one to come on in low and both in high?
Cheers guys

Yep, do as you said and all will work fine.

Although they don't throw a lot of light so running both on low and foregoing high will be your best bet.

depends what light it is

any single-filament globe has a positive and negative, its when its got 3pins its a bit trickier cos u need to know which is hi (easiest just to test it with a 12V battery)

u may need a relay but to have hi and low on the same bulb???
not sure, depends on your bike perhaps?

yeah they are only single filament downlights i think. only 2 wires on each
