53 front headlights

Hey everyone thanks for the advice on the steering wheel on my last post. My latest question is on the front headlights. I've got the harness, ready to install but my delay is routing it. I can't find anything on where to run it or where it was originally placed. Obviously I want to keep it hidden as possible. Let me know how you guys have routed it or if you know how they where originally ran. Pics would be awesome thanks again

I'm at the same spot installing mt headlights/grill/parking lights. I have a Mid Fifty original style wiring kit. I know the wiring I removed off a 56 F350 all plugged together above the left inner fender way towards the front under the hood. Then the headlight harness went thru about a 1" hole in the sheet metal piece outside of the radiator support to the left lights and across behind the grill to the right lights. The horn wires came from the generator/ voltage regulator on the right side. Hope this helps.I'm gonna see if I can find the pics.

Looks spot on Greg That is some serious RUST though I wish I would have taken more pictures when I took mine apart. My horn wire also went around the passenger side. Only one horn. Hopefully getting to mine sooner than later!
