Mastiff headlight wire colours

I've just been checking my recently purchased Mastiff and have noticed that the head lights work backwards!! When they should be on bean they are on dip and visa versa. Does anyone know the correct way the wires go? I've tried lots of ways and am getting a bit confused now! Help!!

Well, the wiring diagram says that the colors are:

Low beam: ge, br

High beam: ws, br

I take that to mean that low beam is yellow ("gelb") and brown ("braun"), and high beam is either white w/black stripe or black w/white stripe ("weißes schwarzes") and brown. And if I know my Germans, the brown is ground.

BTW, the parking light, which appears to be in the same location looks like it's green and brown (gr, br).

Hope that helps.

Thanks for that. I was playing around with them today and it appears that if i wire the right light up opposite to the left one it works as it should!! Strange but all working now.
I need a rear brake lever and switch now though!!
