1967 Pontiac Parisienne Hi guys and gals I don't seem to have any power feeding the 2 front parking lights The wire seems to disappear into the loom... Does anyone know where to go looking??? Perhaps the firewall plug that goes to the fuse box?? Thanks for all your help Greg

How about at the first position on the headlight switch?

I haven't checked there I figured since I have tail lights that the power should be going to the front marker bulbs I'm thinking green wire or connection???

Have you checked the wiring at the signal light mechanism on the steering column? That's where mine had lost its power to the front lights on my '66. Still had rear lights just like yours.

I don't think it could be that on mine because I just replaced that mechanism Over the weekend (Blinkers were acting up again) But I will check the plug under dash Thanks

Now THAT was funny !!
But certainly something I'm going to keep in mind. These old cars can be tricky.

Interesting! In australia the parking lights must stay on when the headlights are on!

My 62 is the same way. Now the new cars have headlights that go off when the turn signal is on.
