My car is missing the wiring from the harness to the turn signals mounted on the hood. My light harness is butchered in this area, so I don't know what the female connector looks like. I am going to order a new forward light harness from year one, but the pictures on the site for the main light harness are fairly small and I can't tell what the connectors would look like. They don't list a harness for my car, but I'm thinking that the one for the Charger may work. I have included a link to the charger light harness; if someone could let me know if this is correct, I'd appreciate it.

My car is original hood turn signals. Going from memory... there's a short wire (maybe 3" long) with a butt connector on the end for each turn signal. I "think" they come right out of the bulkhead disconnect & are standard size (e.g. part store) except they're better quality & coated with some black rubber shrink tape stuff.

From what I've seen, they're the same as many years/applications (e.g. top of fender marker lights) except for the length of the yellow lead wires. I bought a used set of replacements & the only difference I can see is a slightly longer lead wire.

NOTE: The ground on the hood might not be the best. On my original set, I had to run a ground wire to each signal socket (soldered to socket) to make the lights blink, so try that first if they don't flash. I'm hoping to clean some contact areas and/or run a ground wire from the hood to the body with this new set of sockets. If you get stuck with something, send me a private message and I will try to help you. I was actually looking at my marker lights last night.

ANOTHER NOTE: I plan to glue these new sockets into the lenses AND use spark plug anti-seize on the threads. Those sockets are tiny & I had a heck of a time unscrewing my original ones to replace the bulbs since they rusted shut.
 
I have a couple of pix I will post when I can of the hood turn signal wires and where they connect. I have had the lights and wiring installed for 4 years and have yet to hook them up.
This may inspire me to finally do it.
Pix coming soon.
 
These are off of a fully restored award winning 70 Roadrunner. I know I have more pix, but I have to find them.

Thanks. So they terminate in the gray connector? That would make sense with what I have found:

It would be nice if this harness was reproduced.

I will ask the car owner tomorrow if it is repop, NOS, or original, but my bet is on NOS. I'll let you know, and I will look for the other pix too.
Your success is my success.
