headlight help?

This is a 91 bird. Curious as to why my drivers side lowbeam has two wires running to it? I check My chiltons and it shows only one?

BTW; I mean two tan power wires. It also has the black ground and light green high beam.

So sorry, that number has been temporarily disconnected. J/K
The reason that you have two tan wires going to the driver side headlight is because the second tan wire runs across the car to the passenger side and supplies power to it. :lala:

Thank you for taking my call.

Whoa, are you serious? That seems kinda cheap. Meh.

Would there be any way to set my high/lows to come on at the same time when the high beams are selected? (I've separated the two circuits with separate connnecters/bulbs/assemblies and sh*t...)
