Default Headlight sockets´ power

Guys can you help me? I´m buying this:

http://innovativewiring.com/?s=9005%2F9006+to+h4

and I need to know which is power in headlight sockets (9005 A or B, 9006 A or B).

I´m far away from my car, so I can´t test those. Spring is coming here in Finland, Europe and I really need to get my Vette ready for inspection. So next time I´ve time to make European mods to my car, those wires would already be in my garage if I ordered those now...

The only FSM connector shown in the manual is the one that plugs into the headlight door. It has 5 pins. Motor up and down, High and low beam, and ground. Sorry, maybe some one else can help.

What I meant was bulb plugs, low beam bulb plug (A or B?) and high beam bulb plug (A or B?)

I know what you meant. The actual bulb connectors are not shown. You should have bought from a Forum vendor who would have known what to provide. You may need to just wait until you get back to your car.

I got back to my car, and here´s the results: In this case, in both plugs, A is power. In grey plug (low beam), tan color wire is power, black is ground. In black plug (high beam), green is power and black is ground.

I haven´t bought that 9005/9006 to H4 -adaptor yet, do you know good Forum vendor who sells them? Link maybe?

Thank you dadaroo for your quick replies, I have read your other threads´ posts also, I really appreciate you.

Might try the Forum guy "theradioflyer". I checked JWMotoring but they don't list it. They might be able to supply it. However since you now know the connecter information you should be able to just have them make it to your specs. Good luck. Let me know if I can be of any further help.

By the way, the color wires you describe are the same colors as listed in the service manual for the 5 pin connector going to the headlight door. I should have said what colors it showed in my previous post, I just didn't know if the colors changed after that connector.

All right, thanks! I´ve already bought led taillights, etc from Radioflyer. It just didn´t cross my mind to ask him if he could provide this adaptor..
