Hello FTE'ers ! So......My dilema is: Bought some after market gauges for my 60 F100. I pull the gauge cluster panel and find a wiring nightmare stareing me in the face. I start tracing wires. There were so many wires that didn't go to anything ! It was crazy.... I start pulling wires out, marking and seperating each wire. Since the new gauges had there own lights, I pulled all the lights out with the exception of the 2 speedo lights (the speedo is getting changed as well but at a later date). I get everything put back together, pull the light ****, all lights worked EXCEPT the headlights......I am a mechanic, not an electrician, any help woud be appreciated....

Did you plug back in the floor dimmer? I didn't on my build.

 

Hey Dustin, Thanks for the tip. I didn't unpug it but that doesn't mean that it couldn't have come unpluged or loose. It was just strange...I had front running lights, rear tail lights but no headlights. I even hit the dimmer switch thinking I might have an issue there but no such luck. I'll get after it first thing in the morning.....

 

damn I hate wiring-I do know there is a laminated diagram on the eBay for ~$20 that may be valuable to you...I couldn't find on a quick search though

 

They're on here for under $20. This is where I got mine.
