I am having trouble figuring out my headlamp wiring. I didn't take good enough pictures before disassembly and was wondering if anyone might be able to help shed some light. In the attached picture the relays and attached fuses were originally attached to the fender inner. currently I have power into & out of the units with the column switch on or off. Is this correct? If not what could be the potential issue? Also it looks as though a couple terminals are empty. Any idea what wires & for what might go on those terminals?
 
Attachment Browse Screen will go blank when they are uploaded sometimes it takes several minutes depending on how many pics you are uploading & how fast your puter is. you must wait till they show at the bottom of the attachment screen. Hope that helps.

There was one relay originally, and that was for the horn. If you now have two additional relays, it's a good bet that the previous owner wired them to provide more voltage to the headlights. This is a good system if done correctly: One relay for low beam, the other for high beam. The original wiring from the horn/light rod powers the relays, which in turn takes power from a heavier gage wire, usually 10AWG, directly from the solenoid. It then switches the headlights on/off by this superior power source.
