Hey all, I bought a very ratty CB650SC from 1983, and it's missing the headlight and the wiring for the headlights is butchered along with the handlebar controls. Could someone please tell me what the two green wires coming off of the headlight control are? I also have a dark green, black, and white set of wires, which I have identified as the headlight wires? I also have a single more forest green wire with a spade connector that looks like a headlight connector. Thank you so much in advance for your help, I look forward to getting to know everyone here.

Green is standard for ground on Hondas.  There should also be a wiring diagram in your service manual.  You will NEED to get yourself one of those if you're going to work on the bike.
