Default HELP please! Headlight wiring to F4 harness.

So I need some help quick. I followed the dual headlight conversion on this site but he left out a lot of critical information. I got the front running light to work but the hi beam indicator on the gauge stopped working after I got the low to work. Then I cut the red/black wire from the F4 harness to route to the red/black wire from the F4i harness relay...now neither headlight works.

Here are some pics. Id appreciate any help I can get since this is my only mode of transport at the moment...

Here is the bundle of wires and you'll see the black/red wire sticking straight out at you. Need to know where it goes.

Just a little way down from there you'll see the blue/white wire that I connected. The blue/white goes to the front left, the running headlight. After I connected this and before I cut the black/red wire, it worked when I turned the bike on.

You'll now see the wires from the F4 bulb connector to the F4i relay. The two I am holding have no place to go. The blue and the black/red. The blue however, is connected to the right headlight on the other end, the hi beam.

Here is the other end of the white wire from the F4i relay. Again, no where to go.

Here is the end of the black/red wire from the F4i relay. Still, no where for this to go.

So I cut the black/red as instructed. And they say to connect it to the black/red from the F4i relay...which is fine...but on the other end of the relay is still a black/red wire with no place to go!


Pppllllleeeeeaaassseeee HELP!!!

F4 wiring diagram



F4i wiring diagram



So since I took off the relay from the F4i headlight and am wiring those to the F4 harness, is it safe to say that the Bl/R and the Blue wire can get wired together? And the same for the White and Green wires?

I need an electrician! haha

I'm surprised. No one can help at all? Has no one else done this conversion?

What are you trying to do? Have both headlights come on when you turn the key?

No just trying to have it work normal but with two bulbs instead of one. Have one come on with the bike as the running light and then the other as the hi beam...
