ok well every thing has been put on except the hood, well becasue i havent recieved it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

but know after putting the bumper on that im going to need the 97-98 retainer clip and the bumper reinforcment, everything else is good though,

the 3 wires i figured
1. switch
2.constant
3. ground
i just crimped the switch with the red and the black with the black...the other wire is pointless..

i took like 100 pictures...is there any host page other than webshots and eframes where i can put them up step by step

well its 930 time to wash up

I don't remember exactly what's what, but the three wires are as you described.  The switched kicks on the high beam filament when you turn them on.  The low beam filament in the H4 bulb remains lit.  On the Kouki, the H1 low beam has only one filament, hence only two wires.  Can't wait to see the pics!

yeah i double checked and triple checked to make sure every thing was up to snuff, also making sure that when the highs were on the lows turned off, i did notice though that where the headlights screw up to the bars infront of the radiator they dont fit perfectly like the 96 but i drilled a new hole and fixed that, the lights were still level also

this should also be posted on one of the other zilvia.net departments that you see on the home page for future reference

The lows on a '97-'98 should stay on when the highs are on. The fog lights should turn off when the highs are on.
