Hi, I have a Jonway YY150T-2 with an aftermarket High Beam switch that the PO installed. I've aquired a factory switch but I don't know what wires to attach to which connector on the switch since he cut off the original plug. Anyone here have a pic of the male plug to the High Beam switch or know which wire goes to which lead from the switch? Thanks!

There are generic diagrams in the library. If it was me I would just get out your meter and trace out the switchs and what each wire does.

You mean the dimmer switch? Usually blue leaves the switch and runs to the hi beam. Coming into the switch the power could be black, brown, or yellow. White is the low beam. As John said, look at the diagrams in the Library.

I checked the library and I'm still unsure...The original plug was cut off so right now I have a blue and black wire attached to an aftermarket toggle switch(I'm assuming black is power and blue is to the high beam)Toggle this switch and high beams come on. There is a pink wire and a yellow wire which are both connected and capped. I purchased a OEM switch that toggles and has a momentary passing mode if you push down on it but no way of knowing what wire to hook to what lead off the switch. Guess I'll just have to try a few different configurations and seewhat happens. Oh and BTW....my low beams come on as soon as I start the bike. I don't know if thats the way it should be or not which could explain the pink and yellow being connected.

Well after checking with a probe it appears that the black wire is power, blue goes to high beams, pink goes to high beams when pressing the toggle switch to "passing" and yellow goes to lights in the gauge cluster when switched on. Now I have to see which lead on the switch goes to what wire from the scooter.

OK, this diagram is from JR's site, The Scooter Professor. This is the macro view of what I believe is a very similar configuration to your bike. The yellow AC wire off of the stator starts some of the lights as soon as the stator starts generating electricity. What's unusual is that the high beam is energized by DC voltage off of the black wire from the ignition switch.
Now when we look at the dimmer switch you see a yellow wire coming from the stator and and black from the ignition switch:
Now if we blow that up a little you can see the pink running to the low beam off of the dimmer and the blue running to the high beam.
So your yellow comes from the stator and lights up when the engine starts, the black is DC from the key switch, the pink is low beam and the blue is high.

I just talked to JR and the black wire is only for the passing light. The yellow does the high and low beams.

After wiring the switch as pictured in the diagram I found the black and yellow were getting too hot when the scooter was running but I had high beams when I flipped the switch....nothing when I pushed down on the switch for passing. I'll have to try another configuration
