Headlights electrical

I just installed a pair of H4's in my 77 911s. Low beam seems to be more on the yellow side compared to hi beam. Is there a ground for the low beam side that is seperate from the hi? I just feel like I'm not getting all the light I should be.

Be SURE you install a relay kit for those headlights. Use the Search function and search on "Sucro" to see information about this excellent kit (around $20.00).

I cannot comment on the low versus high - just don't know if there would be separate grounds for each (doubt it). This *might* be related to a signal stalk going a bit bad on the low light side?

Get those relays in though. If you don't you will fry the contacts on the signal stalk.

Same ground (3 pin connector on the back of the H4 bulb). And what John said re: relays. Get 'em. Your headlight switch will thank you for it.
