I simply verified that the green wire was ground, that the blue and white wires alternate having a current based on the switch setting. The diagram I found indicates that the blue wire is hi-beam which I assumed to be correct as the hi-beam indicator wire is also blue. So, lots of assumptions with my verification analysis...I guess I wouldn't make a good engineer... lol
