Headlight wiring for Mondeo Mk4

- Negative: Black/Yellow
Right headlamp unit
- RH ignition Live: Violet/White

- RH Dip beam: Blue/Green
- Negative: Black/Violet
What use is this to me?
There can be many reasons, but one good example is a popular mod for the Mk4.0, which is to fit aftermarket daytime running light (DRL) units. If the kit contains one ballast that drives both units, a good location to fit it would be underneath the left headlight.
That way, you don't have to tap into the ground wire of the lamp itself. Just crimp on a ring connector and screw it to the chassis using one of the existing six or so nuts below the air filter box.
Then, wire up the +12V inputs using one of the methods below:
- T-tap (quick and dirty)
- Splice, solder, and shrink tubing (reliable and beautiful, if done right)
- Home made tap loom using bullet/blade connectors and spare wires (if you're uncomfortable with splicing, but good with a crimping tool)
