Default 86 wiring diagram delima

I have been trying to find a correct wiring diagram for a 86 Corvette headlight system for awhile now. I've tried chilton's , haynes , and motor name brand manuals. None of them show the correct color codes for vettes with the foglight option in 84 -87 years. Does anyone know where I can obtain a factory builders book ; or if anyone offers the proper diagrams needed online?

Just get a Helm FSM and be done with it. The problem you might have is also that if the early system failed or was involved in a crash then the entire headlamp package was updated to the later actuators etc. Does your car have two wire or three wire actuators?

It has three wire actuators, never been in a crash where it needed major repair other than a cracked driver side quater from a shopping cart according to the original owner ; other than that I can verify that the harness is unmolested and factory for I have traced it completely to the firewall

Right click on them, save them and print them out. Should make them easier to read.
