Headlight wiring

How is the headlight harness routed from the driver side to the passenger side on my 64 F100?


I was able to snake the harness through the hollow top of the core support so there are no visible wires behind the grill.


I bought a relay wiring kit for the headlights and will not be able to run the wires the same way so I would like to run them the way the factory did it.

Possibly different because mine is a 66 but my harness is suspended between the grill and the radiator.

In front of the core support?


How is it suspended?


I don't have any holes for wire keepers in the core support.

Ok, I think the harness goes between the radiator and core support. I see some holes on the backside of the core support for the plastic keepers.


Next question is where to mount the relays.


They are pretty bulky and I like the simple clean oem look under the hood. I think that I am going to lay them under the passenger side headlight where they will be out of sight. It looks like it stays pretty dry there.

My harness has the factory hangers in tact between the core support and grill. I'd snap a pic but I'm not with the truck right now..

Sounds like a good place to hide the relays..
