Default Morette twin headlight wiring

Guys

Ive recently got a second hand set of Morette twin headlight conversion with wiring loom and a relay, ive just had them painted and now want to fit them this week end.

Is it just a case of plug and play, or is major wiring needed?

Can anyone shed a little light on how to do this or has anyone got a wiring diagram?

Thanks

Its straight forward. The existing headlight connectors plug in to the Morettes. You also need to connect an earth on the drivers side headlight & the connections for the relay on the passenger side to the battery.
Thats about it from what i remember.

yea sorry Steve should have done a diagram when i removed them! as above, they plug into the std escos plugs, then its just a case of finding a place for the 1 or 2 earths, and running the live upto the battery

The instructions that come with them are translated from French to english & take some understanding. Makes you scatch your head for a bit.
