so i finally found an aftermarket headlight i can use on my trike. well, the wires on the 1986 200x are just hangin there. i need to know which wires are which, and how can i wire this light up? the wires on the trike are black (im guessin ground?), white, and green. there are only 2 wires on the light, both white. i guess it doesnt matter which is hooked to power and which is hooked to ground? (wires in my fingers are from the light)

Pretty sure green is ground on the 200x. Black and white might both be hot since it has a hi & lo setting for the light switch, but I'm not sure about that.

ill put a volt-meter on it and let you know what i find out. i know on my '86 rebel, the green was either the ground or the runnin lights. cause it went to all the lights on the bike

well, i pulled the tape further off the wiring and found a blue wire. this wire, according to the manual, is for the "HI" setting. the white is for "LO". Can i wire both lights to the white or blue?
