53 Headlight harness routing

I searched but didn't find anything …...After the wiring comes out of the air deflector into the grille area. Does
the harness clip to the grille or the upper valence?

Kinda crazy that there isn’t a detailed routing picture showing the travel of the wires but I couldn’t find one either John. I was about to ask the same question myself.

Sorry for re- visiting this thread..but can anyone post a pic of the wiring after it leaves the LH deflector shield & where it goes from there?
Im talking about right after it goes thru the hole in the deflector
Im thinking it might be kinda hard to get a picture though. Im getting ready to mount the grille and where I have the wiring now
you can see it coming out of the deflector & down to the grille. About 2". I can probably figure out a way to hide it but am curious to how it was
done from the factory.
Ive looked at a lot of grille pics and I dont see any wires.

Harness of wires go through the air dam. pigtail wires from the headlight comes out the grill to meet the harness and plugs into the wires in the main crossover harness, gets clipped to the upper valance and the pigtail from the right headlight plugs into the harness end..
