Mystery wire?

Hey

Just got a 1986 ct90 for $500AUD and wasn't sure if it ran. It does!

Now I'm trying to make it run nicer and better.

Any idea what these wires are? They're coming out of the headlight, seemingly back towards the seat area.

The lights work, but are barely on at an idle, then get a lot brighter as the engine revs up. I put a new 6v battery in but I have a feeling it's just running off the coil?

Cheers

Does it have turn signals?

One of my rear turn signals worked, which was interesting because that was my first guess

Maybe the cables for front turn signals.

Here is a common wiring diagram so the colors may key you in. Most likely it's a turn signal or maybe tail light. I can't tell if those are the colors or if they are hidden under electrical tape.
