This is the schematic for an '02 XL-7 (manufactured in Japan).  No clue if it will help or not...
'03 ZR2 2dr Tracker, '02 XL-7 drivetrain and electrcs
XL-7 front coils
1.5" rear coil spacers
Monroe 32316 shocks w/2" extenders
235/70-16 Bridgestone Destination A/Ts on stock XL-7 Alloys RRO Rock Rails (Presently removed, as they rusted to all hell; all the bolts were rusted to dust.  Real nice, RRO...) http://www.trivia-nights.com

Just wired up my rally lights on my 99 GV.  One of the wires is WHITE, the other is red with a white stripe.  Unfortunately I don't remember which is which as I type this.  The wiring diagram is at work.

I think that white is positive power to the headlamp bulb all the time, and the red/white wire is the negative for the high beams (as long as the high beam switch is on).  I'm fairly certain but again I don't have the diagrams in front of me even though I just finished my lights 2 nights ago.  (Aimed them last night, love them!)

Yep that's it!   ;)  I remember now.  I used the wiring for the right-side headlamp to trigger the relays for the rally lights since it's closer to the battery.
