turn signals

Hi, Newbie here. I am adding parking light / turn signals to my 1953 F-100 and have a question on the wire routing. A long time ago a previous owner removed the original parking lights and bondoed over the indents and added some tiny little turn signal lights on the air deflectors. I am going back to the original look and am trying to figure out the wire routing. Does the pigtail come out the bottom and go thru the gravel pan or does it go up thru the headlight bucket ?

The pig tail goes through here:



And then it should plug into the headlight crossover harness and it goes through here:



It then is held to the hood locking panel by clips and there should be two of them, one on each side of the latch about 6 inches from the latch. Some times there was more than two clips, but I've mostly seen only two clips on these trucks.

Hope the pictures showed up, and I hope this helps.

Pictures showed up great.Thanks, that is exactly the information I needed. Unfortunately, my wiring isn't exactly as described but I will be correcting that soon. Looks like I have a few missing grommets to replace also.
