Question Headlight and Marker light wiring question

does anybody have a picture of how the harness is run from the firewall down the inner fender to the left side and then cross over to the right for a 49 F1? I understand the sequence and concept but would like to see a visual of the actual wire is routed and what holes it goes through....currently I have the inner fenders, outer supports, radiator and grill installed. I do not want to end up kicking myself in the *** when it comes time to install outer fenders and upper valance and find out I routed through a wrong hole/route and get myself in trouble.

My 50 F4 Six uses two clips and both are under the bolts that attach the outer fenders.

My 48 F1 V8 uses a fender bolt but also has two larger clips that fit in holes half-way down the inner fender.

The harness then goes thru a grommeted hole in the piece beside the top of the radiator (air dam or deflector)
From there it attaches to the cross-over harness that tucks up under the hood latch panel.
