[QUOTE="hobojoe, post: 115833, member: 6053"] IC = Ignition Coil. The Blue wire you're looking at in the wiring diagram comes from the wire harness, (eventually leads into the conglomeration of wires in the headlight bucket via the internal wire harness) I don't think i could guide you through the re-wire via this forum.
