Geoff,
It actually rather simple - words will do I think:
Pins 1,2 & 3 get connected together on each motor and the Potentiometer unit - So all the pin 1s connect together, all the pin 2s connect together and all the pin 3s connect together. So you need a 3 wire connection from the potentiometer, through the firewall to the 1st motor and daily chain on to the second motor.
Pin 1 is the power feed - supply it from your marker lights (avail in the front fender area beneath the headlamp) - use a 1A fuse (or a 3A if its easier to find).
Pin 3 is ground - ground where the headlamps ground (run it seperately though) e.g. next to final stages at front.
Pin2 only connects between the motors and potentiometer

Which pin is which?
I am wiring up the electric headlight adjusters for my Euro H4's and have read every post I can find (great work Alan!) but I see 2 different pictures with the wiring done in 2 different ways. So...I know the center pin is the "signal" or rheostat feed, but which pin is the power in the picture below? Left of the white wire, or right of the white wire?
Cheers!

Thanks Alan,
I compared your wiring and Jim's wiring on a previous page and he had the red power on opposite side, which confused me (I'm easily confused). I'll wire mine the "Alan way".
Cheers!
