Default Headlight switch wiring

It has been a busy and long summer with little to no time to finish the CR1.

But finally, I have had time to get back to the final thrashing of the wiring to complete the car. I finished the front, rear and electric door popper wiring. Completed the LeMans style fuel filler connection, installed the MGB wiper motor & mounted the wheels & tires. Now I need to complete the dash wiring. I have the gauges, indicator light, heater fan switch, stereo, and wiper wired. What I have left is the headlight switch.

To those of you that have the CR1s, you, I am sure, found the wiring diagrams & instructions terrible at best.

I have the "Deluxe Dash" and I have the light switch mechanically in place. But I cannot find any wiring instructions as to which wires go to the switch. In the supplied dash harness, I have not discovered any "spare" wires without a home.

In the car harness behind the dash I do not find an indicated harness that should go to a "headlight relay".

Has anyone covered this and can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

I think I solved my own question. It turns out that Classic Roadsters did not list, in the wiring diag the wires to the switch itself. But looking for any spare wires in the dash wire loom I found three wires with no home. Looking and a list with the wire number and its description, I could figure out what was suggested and then ring out the run to confirm it did power the different circuits for the parking and headlights. Writing notes in the manual to have future reference.

Good job Thom. The manual isn't very specific. I'm glad you're back to making progress.
