Posted December 13, 20222 yr comment_648218 Does anyone have a picture(s) of how the headlight wires enter into the sugar scoop to connect to the headlight? I'm assuming the wires normally come from the engine compartment? How do the get to the area behind the headlight? I found a very basic sketch but it isn't that helpful. I am rewiring my car (1976 280z) from scratch and can do it any way I want. Looking for the cleanest install.

Easiest with the wheel removed. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68041-wire-routing-to-headlights/#findComment-648220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 13, 20222 yr Author comment_648221 I'm assuming you are talking about the splash guard behind the headlight? If so, yes I figured that part out. But how do the wires get from the engine compartment into the wheel well? Or do they possibly run under the fender, along the top of the inner fender?

December 13, 20222 yr comment_648222 Look at BE-94 in the Body Electrical chapter. Nissan really didn't label the chapter sections well. You have to stumble upon it.

December 14, 20222 yr comment_648226 I don't know if all the years are the same, but this is how my 77 did it. Passes through a grommetted hole above frame rails from the engine compartment into the wheel wells: Dry-rotted old grommets: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68041-wire-routing-to-headlights/#findComment-648226 Share on other sites More sharing options...
