Wiring schematic for Yamaha brand recessed headlights?
Hi everyone! My G16 was pre-wired for recessed headlights and tail-lights by a previous owner (someone removed the lights and took them before I got the cart), and I recently picked up the Yamaha brand recessed headlights to install them back in the cart.
I'm having a hard time determining which wire colors on the lights are for what, and since they didn't come with a wiring diagram. Each assembly has a red, black, and white wire-- a ground wire, head lamp, and parking lamp (turn signal). Normally I would assume black is ground, but not in this case apparently. I determined white was ground, red is headlamp, and black is parking light/turn signal, but everytime I wire both lights up like this and kick on the switch the fuse pops. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for these lights, or does anyone know which wire is used for what? Thanks! -Andrew |

Andy, I am afraid you are on your own with this because we don't know what the PO did or didn't do. Trace the wires back and make a drawing as you go.
GOOD LUCK. |

Re: Wiring schematic for Yamaha brand recessed headlights?
Thanks for the reply! I should have been more clear. I was able to figure the cart wiring weeks ago.... Its the wiring for the actual Yamaha headlamp assemblies that I can't figure out for sure what wire is ground.

The white wire runs to both the parking lamp and the halogen headlamp, which made me think that the white was the ground. The red wire runs to the halogen lamp as well, and the black wire runs to the parking lamp. So I figured red was hot for the headlamp, black was hot for the parking lamp, and white was ground. But when I hook white to chassis ground (a known, good ground) for testing purposes, and hook the red wire to 12v+, both the headlamp and the parking light come on. I don't get it lol. |

Re: Wiring schematic for Yamaha brand recessed headlights?
I can get some this weekend. Going to have limited Internet access where I'm going to be, but I'll have the cart and my Droid with me so I'll see what I can do! Otherwise I can just post up when I get back home Sunday. Thanks again!
