Dear Traum...

Given you have an obvious harness problem, let me convey some notes I have on the socket wiring. I am 90% sure this is correct because I recorded it from a fairly pristine original headlight.

a) Draw a circle with a notch at 6 o'clock position.

b) Next draw three pins inside one at 6 o'clock, 10 o'clock, and 2 o'clock.

c) Label these 1, 2, and 3

d) The wires for the right lamp are as follows:
1: Red 2: White 3: Green

Now you can check your headlights consistent with Owen's switch diagram.

Unfortunately I don't have iron clad notes for the left side because the I never came across a pristine headlight. As well, once the right lamp is set up correctly the bus bar position is determined by matching the right side "driving" position.

However, the fact that your light still has the bar in it is a strong indication that is has never been tampered with. Many knowledgable people aren't even aware that it exists. From there you can use a test light at the switch and determine exactly what filaments are being switched on.

Hope this helps.
