I'm in the process of running new wires for my 42 Ford Tudor. I've got the rear done but when I get to the front lights I'm not sure where the wires run. I'm comming up the frame on the driver's side and now when I get to the cowl where do you run the wires to get to the headlights? After the driver's side headlight & parking lights are wired where do you run the wire to get to the passenger side lights? Pictures might be helpful also. Thanks, David

The junction is at the front corner of the left front fender. There is a series of "bullet" connectors there where the crossover loom to the head and parking lamps joins the wires from the main loom.

The junction is at the front corner of the left front fender. There is a series of "bullet" connectors there where the crossover loom to the right head and parking lamps joins the wires from the main loom that also feeds the left lights. The wiring to the right side dips down ahead of, and below the radiator. To reach the area, remove the domed cover across the top of the radiator. Here's a tip: run a separate ground wire to the head and parking lamps, and connect the other end to a known good ground. Almost always, the front fenders provide poor grounds due to rust, paint, and the welting, resulting in dim or no lights.

I am attaching a full diagram of the wiring for your car that should help in the job.
