Okay! So to start, I can't read those stupid wiring diagrams worth a flip. I have come across a low grade HID conversion kit for my headlights. Each headlight works individually, but when I hook them up simultaneously, they flicker back and forth. I have decided to wire relays into the original circuit and route wire straight from the battery to each of the headlights. Problem is, I don't understand how the brights even work. . What I'm asking for is a walkthrough of the wiring from the battery, through whatever switches, and to the headlights. High beams and low beams. Stock setup. I can't seem to find anything descriptive on this matter. If you do know of a walkthrough, a URL would do fine. If not, once I gain a sufficient understanding, I will post a thread myself. Thank you!

Look at the drawing for the 260Z circuit. The wire colors are the same, but the connectors and fuse locations are a little different.

The W/R wire comes off the battery/alternator and goes to the headlight switch. It comes out as a Red wire. The R wire goes to the left & right headlight fuses and comes out R for the right headlight and R/Y for the left headlight. There are two wires that come off each headlight and go back to the high/low beam switch. The R/W wire is for the high beams, and the R/B wire is for the low beams. The switch determines which of those two wires is connected to ground.

Thank you for your reply, Steve. Didn't think I'd get one, haha. I will reply with more questions or a conclusion on Thursday.

Be sure to search on this site, too. There are plenty of posts on headlights.

I would highly suggest either buying the Dave Irwin harness from MSA or build your own like I did ... Dave's 1972 Datsun 240z: Headlight wiring harness with relays

Well, a little later than Thursday, my apologies. I figured out that my battery was just bad, so that's why I could never get the ballasts for the headlights to operate simultaneously. Fixed that, problem solved. Thanks a lot for the diagram and explanation, Steve! I'm gonna do what Jarvo says and build my own relay harness using that guide.

One nice thing about buying Dave's relay harness (via Motorsport Auto) is that it's plug and play. I would suggest going that route.
