The wiring loom from the terminal strip on the firewall, for the head lamp, left, has the smaller loom for the bight and dim wires, it runs along the frame rail, under the hood shelves are mounted pairs of clips to secure the loom.

Then the loom passes up into the apron near the headlamp, and exits from a hole on the side of the shelf.

The right side loom for the right headlamp bright and dim is also done the same way, runs down by the generator and clipped.

Note the notch at the outer front edge of the hood shelf. The wood blocks under the hook clasps give space for the wires, and they exit to the headlamp socket.
