I have a 66 C20, I am trying to get my lights to work, not a new topic, and am not familiar with Chevy wiring habits. How are the exterior lighting systems grounded? Do they have separate ground straps for these systems, or do they ground through their respective cases? If there are straps, where should they be? Thanks, Josh

Check the dimmer switch, sometimes they can cause the headlights not to work.

On my 65, the front light harness has a ground for each headlight. Also shows this on the wiring diagram. Dont know if this helps.
