thanks for ur help.all morning out there thought I'd go over it again the headlight 3 prongs that connect to it the red wire gave few taps came on.so I guess next step is uncliping the 3 wires that go in the back of the plug and solder the wire back in place.finally but did go through taking rubber boot of checked all the wires first was the globe then thought change em around and nothing till next step playing with the wires and bang found it couple taps here there like you mention the earth cleaned them and the plugs with electrical spray and worked on the wires see if any lose.sorry so long but hope this helps somone in the same situation b pasent and long and play around..

Good job. Aftermarket light mods will become commonplace as original hella lights dry up. They are getting hard to find.
