Headlamp Electrical Question, Please View Image

First, thank you to everyone for previous posts on my questions regarding these headlamps.

So can you help me with the following. I am wondering what the correct wiring configuration should be for these H4's. Seems like I have some extra wires and not sure what they are used for and if they are needed or even if this is the correct wiring.

I noticed that I was only using A,B,C,

D was not plugged into anything.

Also curious to know what E is and why F runs into D and what G is for.

FYI, I purchased the H4 connectors today and also going to order the relays that were recommended in the previous post.

Thank you again,

A
B
C
D
E
F
G

Team guy,
You would be better served using just ONE thread concerning your headlamps. It is easier for others to see what the progression is...JMHO....YMMV

Yeah, I agree but I'm just trying to identify these wires and what they all mean. Thought this image in a new post would be easier. Also in future searches for other users trying to find an answer to a similar question it will be easier to find at the top versus buried on the bottom or 2nd, 3rd page. Thanks

F is your ground wire - C and D are either headlight/citylight or high beam and low beam grounds. G and E are mysteries to me - hard to tell where they go from you pic. I would imagine A and B are your hi and low beam power - I don't know which is which but that is easy to figure out by swapping back and forth.

And now for a more educated guess......
