for those of you stumbling in the "dark" trying to wire lights to the headlight...
A few pointers.
The color-code from the inside of the housing is this for wiring to the parking lights.
Brown is ground.
The gray wire is the parking lamp circuit.

These are the connection points on the outside of the housing.
I do not know the color of the wire on the connector, I'll assume it's the same color.
Gray is the light circuit.
Brown is ground.

Thanks for the pic and info. Did you see my post below with the harness provided by
torquesteer? It gives only one wire to connect to parking lights? I will try this agian when I get home this am and let you know.

Yes, and it was very confusing. It would help to know more details...
as to how this relay is wired.
I'll assume the "one" wire you speak of it a trigger wire for the relay.
This wire from the parking light circuit triggers the relay.
The contacts on the relay then go to the battery and to the 'Angel eye' lamp.
The one wire from the relay goes to ground.
At the least, this is the way I'd wire it if you want the angel eyes to come on with the parking lamps.
How much current do these "eyes" draw?
Why is the relay needed at all?
