Headlight wiring
I recently bought a 1923 T. The wiring is terrible. I have looked at the catalog and have seen the wiring kits for the headlight. I don't see if there is a cover or grommet or rubber piece that goes from the wiring to the headlight. Is there a separate piece? Also, does the kit come with one side or do I need to order two to do both lights? Thanks for your help!

Re: Headlight wiring
Each side light is wired through a separate loom, so you need both looms. Thers is a black grommet for the hole in the hood shelf, which is a separate part.
Hope this helps.

And the grommet is a plastic and not rubber.

Re: Headlight wiring
You shouldn't have to do this, but before you buy any wiring harness be sure the wires are the correct colors. I've seen some where the maker was creative or careless about that.
