Which color wires did you end up soldering to the headlight
connector?
Also, IIRC the default CV values for the headlight don't work
very well. Here's some settings I used to setup the decoder
for controlling the headlight on the white lead:
CV61 = 0x01
CV33 = 0x01
CV34 = 0x01
CV49 = 0x22 // Mars Light
CV50 = 0x00
In case you haven't found it yet, here's a document that covers
all the nitty gritty details of the DZ143:
http://www.digitrax.com/ftp/Decoder%20Manual.pdf
There's a virtual quagmire of CV programming details in
this document (or a hacker's paradise, depending on your
point of view! :-)
BTW, use "direct mode" when programming the DZ143.
The current version of LDCC's "paged mode" programming
doesn't work correctly with the DZ143, although it's fine with
the DN121... strange).
HTH,
Mark
