Headlight wire looms
I need the two wire looms that have the turn indicator and headlight connector .I tried patching ours up but there so thrasehed when I turn on turn signals both light blink and one is very dim .Could it be cause I dont have many bolts holding on the grille cause we had it painted ?Does it need to be fully grounded for the turn to work right cause they did before we had it painted?

lil neet,
I highly recommend that you upgrade your headlight wiring to a relay setup, especially seeing as it seems you already have some thrashed wiring. It's pretty easy and inexpensive and will take a lot of stress and load off of your existing wiring.

You could easily simplify by ignoring the "Forced low beam switch" and "highbeam flash" loops. And yes, good/proper grounding is of the utmost importance. I personally like to run an extra ground wire from the negative battery cable to the same screw on the radiator support that the ground wire of the headlight pigtails fastens to.
Hope This Helps,
Gene
