Single to twin headlight conversion

Single to twin headlight conversion
Hello All,
I recently bought a F/89 plate CBR 600F as a project, only a few things driving me mad!!
The guy I bought it off, converted the front fairing incorporating the twin headlights,
but hasn't done it correctly.
Could anyone tell me how to wire them up properly, I have so far checked every wire!
Everything works, except - The main and high beam or pass lights.
I have the correct wires running from the Main Lighting switch,
I have the blue and white wire running from the Main Switch to the Dimmer switch,
I also have the main blue and White wires which are ready to connect to the correct places,
What I have the other end, is 2 headlights and 2 Relays (both identical)
But no idea, how they all connect together! Has anyone else done this conversion before???
I am very very tired, after trying a million different combinations tonight/this morning!!!
PLeeeeeeeease help!
Thanks in advance

RE: Single to twin headlight conversion
Not done mine yet. I was thinking of doing my new twins as one. Although, I read that Mr. Honda changed them to one low, one high. Thisbecause, Mr. Honda and his team of experts,concluded that other road users may mistake twin lights on a bike, as lights on a car seen from a distance. Therefore, upping the chance of a "sorry mate I didn't see you". I suppose Mr. Honda, and his team of highly paid experts,may have a point. As for wireing. I would piggy back low beam wires to one. Then do the high to one or both too. This may be too simple, if someone has cut up the standard wires. I suppose it's then back to the diagram. Good luck.

Ended up stripping full loom out, Have photo's of conversion if people would like to see, follow my re build progress on my other thread, I will be adding photo's of re build if anyone should need advise, As I learn and make the mistakes, I'll Add tips and photo guides etc.Check out my Youtube Track bike I sold also - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wViyL52caJ8

think I might have done the wiring wrong on mine..
I had the single wiring loom and wired it to two lights..
I found that one light had only two wires coming out so used a three wire adapter from another light.. and wired all three wires up off both lights..
You sure it would drain the battery? thought it would be able to hack an extra light?
I suck at electrics!
