Can anyone tell me what terminals are low/high/ground, on this headlight? I went to change out the sockets and they fell apart, now I'm confuses as to which wire goes where.

Use a test light on the plug on the other side of the truck, that should tell you wich one is low beam, high beam, and ground.

Both r&l sides came apart. I know which wires are what, what I don't know is which prongs on the actual headlight are H/L/G.

RIGHT ON! Chengny. Thats exactly what I was looking for. Question, are all sealed beam headlights that have the 3 prong connections, the same configuration? What I mean by all, is, 4x6-5x7-and the round headlights on older 73-79 chevys.

I don't believe sealed beams are vehicle specific (like OEM parts). As far as I know, as long as the number of filaments in the lamp (and prongs in the back) equals the number of slots in the plug - you can't go wrong.
