Does anyone know what the circuitry for the first gen is? Positive or ground?

 

Are you asking if the chassis in the ground on a cl rather than the possitive? Or looking for schematics.

 

looking to make a HID wire harness, and was wondering if it was a grounded circuitry or a positive circuitry?

 

OMG, if you have to ask, put down the wire cutters and step away from the car.

All cars are 120V AC, there is a ground, hot and a neutral.

 

You got to be kidding me! Take it to a professional man.

 

Well.. positive ground systems were actually used at one time. Some auto makers thought electricity flowed better that way, but thats a old car thing allong with 6 volt systems.

 

dear lord, i hope that was a joke..........

 

the person that makes the wiring harness asked me to notify him if I have a positive or grounded switch

this was from his email

"2.- Positive or Grounded Switched??
If you have no idea what I'm talking about check here:

You think.....

 

THat's better.

Yes, our car's are a +12v switched headlight. THere is no power, only ground, to the headlamp until you turn on the headlights. They need to prepare your harness expecting +12v switched.

 

out headlamps are ground switched, it's common on most imports

 

So the headlamp rests with +12v and no ground? The headlamp switch supplies ground?

 

if you ever test the high beam circuit you will realize there is +12 on both wires until you turn the switch then one switches to a ground. thats what i meant. i never tested them when everything is off. once you switch the headlamp on i know that the low gets a + and - and the high gets two +

 

Hmm. My 8000k HID kit was plug and play, so I never had to test it out.

 

okay thanks for the info, it's grounded switched then

this page hows you how to make the wire harness.
scroll down and you will see the schematics for it.
