Electrical Wiring Question - Gauge Panel
Hello all,
As usual, I need some help.
I am trying to sort out my old wiring harness and figure out what went where. I have wiring diagrams but as you know the flat paper schematic is only generally location specific.
When I dropped my central instrument panel two vinyl covered black wires joined together and one fabric tan or white wire with purple tracer were not connected to anything. They sourced from the shrink wrap line that also had the flasher can wiring. As you see in the photo, they have a connector on the end which is typically used for lamps of some sort.
Does anyone have records or photos that would tell me where these attach?
I did not do a great job either photographically or narratively on the wiring disassembly. At the time I disassembled (stupidly - and there is no excuse for stupid!), I assumed I was putting in a completely different engine and a modern custom wiring harness. Of course, that is not now the route I am following. Oh well, I will slowly and deliberately figure it out. Perhaps with some of your help!
Thanks.

I am not sure about the MK-2 wiring colors, but in my '65 S type, the only wires with those exact Bullet Connectors (that I can remember behind the Dash) are the hot and ground wires for the Map Lamp, and they are different colors.
