Default HEADLAMPS warning circuit

Could someone please post a schematic of whichever circuit includes the "HEADLAMP" warning light? I believe it was used from '69 - '71.

I'm adding that warning to the gauge pack of my '79 as there is an unused warning lamp hole and both the printed circuit and electrical connector have available space for the two required conductors.

I know how the circuit works and can do it without the schematic but I'd like to know the proper wire colors and, if possible, which space in the big bulkhead connector was used

Hi SE,
The switch is shown in the upper left corner.
The wiring is part of the forward lighting harness.
2 wires, white with dark green stripe and black.
Regards,
Alan

Here you go Mike-

This is for the 71 bulkhead- but pretty sure it was the same 69-71
I labeled it "Headlight Warning."

Hi SM,
I realized I forgot to mention, but you probably realize, that originally there was a switch for each headlight.

Alan
