Wiring Assistance 51 F-3
Conncecting the headlights to the main harness.
The crossover harness from passenger side to drivers side connects the headlight plug to the two headlight plug wires on drivers side how does this then connect with main dash harness that has two male wires as well?
This is a Bob Drake harness, not that it matters, seems like there should be a “y” type connector to tie everything together?
Do I need to make a connector?
Thanks for any suggestions.

I saw those and wondered if they are what I need. Will they accept two wires in each connector?
That is two in each female on each side for total of four wires in one side?
Then connect the matching single wire from main harness to the plug carrying matching two wires?
I will have two sets of two, one from each headlight that need to connect with one set of two on the main harness, if you follow me.
Thanks, hope this makes sense.

Thanks Rich,
I have the three wires from each headlight socket to connect to the two wires from main harness.
Using single connectors I run the connector harness from passenger side socket to drivers side and then use the double connectors to connect to single matching wire in main harness? The two wires in the double connectors will connect with the single wire connecting from the other side?
All the connections in the double are “jointly hot” if you will, unlike two separate single connectors side by side. So the doubles actually are a “Y” type connection?
sorry to be a bit thick on this,

Bob, thanks for that, the crossover harness has a black/with yellow tracer, my sense is this will connect with the solid black connectors?
Their is a black wire with eye connector that grounds to the fender on each side. It looks like the solid black from the headlight is a bullet connector and it would seem it would connect with the blk/yellow as ground?
Now my truck is a 5 Star with parking lights, those need to connect as well.
I’ll reacquaint myself with the wiring diagram and get it solved- understanding the function of the double connectors is very helpful.
