Wig-Wag Help

[SiLenZe]

I am trying to install a whelen uhf2150 healdight flasher on my 01 sport.
the wiring diagram in the haynes manual has me confused. the headlights seem to be conected to eachother. the flashers stay on and only pulse brighter.
i connected the flasher to the green/black wire on both headlights. the passenger side had a blue/green wire color instead of the white/green listed in the manual.
any help would be great!

the flashers stay on and only pulse brighter.

what exactly do you mean by that?

if it's any help, your wig-wags are supposed to flash your high beams, so if you have your low-beams on, your head lights will stay on and just alternate brightness instead of turning on and off like it does when your headlights are off...if that makes any sense.
so (forgetting about wire color) all you need to do is splice the wires from your flashing system into your high beam wires (after you get power to the flashing system, of course)

i know how they should look. right now the highbeams stay on and pulse slightly brighter. this is with the car off and headlights off.
i switched the wires from the drives side to the passenger side and vice versa. that didnt fix anything.

every wig-wag system i've ever heard of or dealt with operates by simply opening and closing a circuit. if you make this circuit with your high beams it should flash your high beams (or whatever lights you put into the circuit) on and off. i've never heard of a system that actually varies the intensity of a bulb. if this is what yours is doing then i have no idea

here is how i fixed the problem. this is for a two wire (one wire to each headlight) system. newer models have 4 wires (2 to each).
cut the passenger hi-beam wire from the car to the headlight and leave it disconected. connect the flasher to the hi beam headlight wire. apartently the flasher has a pass through which still allows the stock highbeams to work. leaving it connected passes the current back to the other headlight creating an always on effect.
