Suzuki Samurai Headlamp Wiring Diagram - Fuses 11/12 15A, Dimmer & Lighting Switch

Wiring diagram of the headlight system showing the LH and RH headlights, dimmer/passing switch and lighting switch.

AI caption · Photo 35 of 86

This is one page of a scanned factory-style wiring diagram, uploaded to a 1986 Suzuki Samurai gallery, showing the headlamp circuit. Power comes from two 15A fuses (positions 12 and 11) in the fuse box, feeding White/Blue and White/Red wires to the left headlight (connector E29, pin 3) and right headlight (connector E03, pin 3). A White/Blue branch also feeds the combination meter's high-beam (BEAM) indicator through connectors G06/E37 and G09. Return wires from the headlights — Red (low beam) and Red/White (high beam) — route to the Dimmer & Passing switch (connector E40, pins 11 and 20), which selects LO/HI/PASS. The adjacent Lighting Switch (OFF/TAIL/HEAD positions) connects to the fuse box and to the shift illumination lamp. The switch output grounds through Black wires to ground points 10 and 9. A small legend distinguishes variants: [1] IWATA and [2] CAMI (assembly plant designations), indicating alternate connector pin numbers depending on build. Readers can learn fuse ratings, wire colors (W/Bl, W/R, R, R/W, B), connector identifiers (E29, E03, E40, G06, E37, G09), and the overall current path for the headlamp system.

Frequently asked questions

What fuses power the Suzuki Samurai headlights in this diagram?
Fuse positions 12 and 11 in the fuse box, each rated 15A — one feeds the left headlight (W/Bl wire) and one the right headlight (W/R wire).
What wire colors are used in the headlamp circuit?
White/Blue (W/Bl) and White/Red (W/R) feed the headlights from the fuses; Red (R) and Red/White (R/W) run from the headlights to the dimmer/passing switch; Black (B) wires go to grounds 10 and 9.
Which connectors serve the headlights?
The left headlight uses connector E29 (pin 3 feed, pins 1 and 2 outputs) and the right headlight uses connector E03 (pin 3 feed, pins 1 and 2).
What does the dimmer & passing switch connect to?
It receives R and R/W wires from the headlights at connector E40 (pins 11 and 20), has LO/HI/PASS positions, and grounds through Black wires to ground points 10 and 9.
What do the [1] and [2] symbols in the legend mean?
The legend states [1] = IWATA and [2] = CAMI, marking alternate connector pin assignments depending on the build/plant.
