Default how to wire a halogen light to your fourwheeler??

well i have a warrior and the 2 lights are well i think there dead ..... and a friend gave me 2halogen lights adn i was wondering how to hook this up to my warrior..... i looked and there are only 3 wires on the lights (that is connected both of them connected 2each other)... i believe that the 2 black wires, one coming from each light is a ground... the other wire coming out of each of them connects 2 one wire.... does any one know how to hook this up so that i can see when i drive at night?

Why not just replace the bulbs in the headlights, or are they damaged? You can find halogen high output replacement bulbs, and not have to do any rewiring.

If both lights went out simultaneously than you probably have a switch or wiring issue and replacing the light will do nothing.

If one burned out and then the other over time it may be like 95wolv said, just the bulbs or they may be damaged.

If your warrior has low beam and high beam, which I assume since you have three wires going to each light, then it would be unlikely that everything just burned out at once.

To make sure the power is getting to the lights you should use a multimeter or test light connected to the wires/sockets of the lights and switch the lights on and off.

one light went out and then a couple weeks later the other one went out... and the lights that i was given has 2 wires coming off of each of them... they both have a black one (i belive this one is the ground) and a white one that connects the lights togeather
