pretty sure you ground the ground wire straight from the light

Parabolic wiring has been the most frequently asked. What’s the BIG DEAL about it?
Well first off the parabolic are using H7 globes which are 2 pin globes, the standard executive uses the 3 pin globes which are H4 type. You will find that the current 3pin connector will be able to attach to the 2 pin globe holder of the parabolics. Turning on your lights will notice that the low beams will not light up but the high beams are ok when you turn them on.

The IDEA is to have both lights on when on Highbeam mode, and only lowbeams with parker when using normal headlights.

The idea here is to cut the PURE RED wire from each side of the connectors which are from your existing Magna, and have it connected (jointed) with additional wiring of your own and ground it to the Magna’s body.

A closer look at the RED wire we are all referring.

Some people who do not wish to cut the original wire in their cars can get adaptors or extra plugs to do this. An example of an adaptor is shown below:

In this example for the below adaptors, the red wire leads to the green wire and therefore you cut it and ground it. (this is an example for the adaptors.)

Which ever method you choose, is still the same, you need to cut the pure red wire and ground it from the connector end as explained in the drawing. If you are doing it by the adaptors see where the red wire leads to and cut the wire on the adaptor’s side.

Do this on both sides of your head lights for the low beams. I suggest that you try one and test first. You can simply use the globe holder from the parabolic with a H7 globe to test it rather than fitting everything and having a hard time on the wiring.

The grounding points for these wires are on the side of the Magna’s body and is attached by a screw:

Remove water bottle reservoir and Battery as space is required to find the grounding points. Attached the newly joint wire to the grounding points on each side, and test the lights. Once you have tested the low beams and high beams are working, remove the globe holders and globes and put them back into your parabolics. We be moving to the final step of putting in the lights.


From that thread, dunno if it's right, my firewall blocked the pics but I think it's a red wire you have to earth from the light to the body of the car

thank u u guys all rock
