3 Headlight wires

There are 3 wires going to the headlight, right... so are the wires 12V? I am asking because once I get HIDs, the high beam wire will be worthless.... so I plan on hooking something else up to it (maybe strobes or blue fog lights?) that needs a 12V source..... let me know... thanks

yes, but is the high beam 12V?

Also, what do you think I should put in instead of the high beams?

on the 4th gen:

the black wire is ground.

the middle wire is headlights

the last wire left is high-beam

hope that helps.

Yes.. I knew this... but I wanted to know if the voltage difference between the high beam wire and the ground wire is 12V.
