Headlight connector

[musicman]

Need some help with the H4 headlight connector, I bought a new one and it has 2 red wires (one with a black stripe) and one black, I know the wires for the headlight are the white and yellow ones, black w/ white stripe is the ground, and if I remember right white is high yellow is low. But which pins on the connector do they go to? I tossed the old connector before I got the new one

Looking at the picture, who is low who is high? Left looks to be ground.

Thanks in advance

Red/Black (top) is low beam. If there are numbers then 31 is ground. I would not assume that just because of the color.

In that picture, red is ground, connect it to your bike's black/white wire.
The red/black wire is the low beam, connect it to your bike's white wire.
The black wire is the high beam, connect it to your bike's yellow wire.

Good gravy, where did you get that connector (so we can avoid this vendor)? The wire colors were chosen to ensure maximum possible confusion.

Or maybe the key is to save the old one I think the one I got from autozone had brown white and black wires but just transferred by position on the new one.

No doubt. When I saw that connector, I investigated. I could not believe that any manufacturer would make a black wire anything but ground. That is why I posted only that the top wire was the low beam; I could not believe anyone could be so stupid. But I guess they can be, and I am proven wrong. Once again.
Switch the red with the black and everyone is happy. Damm Chinese. Joke, it could have been made here. But stupid, just the same.

Actually, if you get into RV wiring, black is your hot wire and white is ground, sort of like your 110 volt house wiring.

OK, in the house, the white is actually a neutral, but it's still basically a "zero-volt reference point".

But everyone knows that Green is Ground, or actually, Earth, because it is all a reference, right? (It really is)
Like the elves in Middle Earth, we delve too deep. The hobbits must be content to dig the earth and smoke their pipeweed.
Ah, Gandalf, where are you when we need you? He is travelling the NorthEast with his GoldWing, of course.

[Steve]

Somebody's smoking their pipeweed for sure.

Ah, Gandalf, where are you when we need you?
He is travelling the NorthEast with his GoldWing, of course.

Is that "Gandalf" or "Grand Elf"?

Either way, I am in the NorthEast, but sans Wing.

When I took the Vetter SS fairing off my 1000 ten years ago I got an H4 pigtail from NAPA. All the wires were black, talk about mass confusion with that one.
