<DIV></DIV>&gt;"The correct wires are inside a black plastic sleeve in the area nearest the
<DIV></DIV>&gt;dimmer switch."
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Thanks Mark. That's what got me off my butt at this computer and now all is
<DIV></DIV>&gt;wired as prescribed. I won't even try to explain why I thought I had done it
<DIV></DIV>&gt;correctly the first time, or for that matter, why I thought they were
<DIV></DIV>&gt;working. I can say, to the best of my recollection, I had not heard/read the
<DIV></DIV>&gt;quoted sentence above prior to reading it here. The Volks Caf� online
<DIV></DIV>&gt;instruction, identical to Frank's, says to locate the white and yellow wires
<DIV></DIV>&gt;leading from the switch, which for most volks would be enough information,
<DIV></DIV>&gt;but apparently not this volk.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Anyway, nice to have this done correctly now, despite my fumbling. Progress,
<DIV></DIV>&gt;not perfection.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Bob
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Ok Bob, you did yours wrong also. That explains why you are burning up
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; headlight switches now that you have added more lights. Frank needs to
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; make the installation instructions clearer I guess. The correct wires
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; are inside a black plastic sleeve in the area nearest the dimmer switch.
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; That makes it less obvious which wires to use though I don't understand
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; why 2 guys would think it ok to splice into wires that are clearly the
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; wrong colors and way too small to be the headlight wires.
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; I also own an 87 Syncro and the headlight wires are white for high beams
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; and yellow for low beams, just like Frank says. I just removed the
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; steering column cover to make sure. Bentley wiring diagrams show the
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; same colors for all 1986 and newer Vanagons.
