I would suggest you locate & purchase a factory "Service Manual" for your '74. This is where I get my wiring diagrams, and they are the most complete you'll find. You can find the shop manuals at swap meets for around $40, usually. I see them from time to time on e-bay, but some of them are way overpriced. These manuals come in handy for a lot of stuff, including specs for just about everything on the vehicle, remove/replace instructions, and repair info, as well as troubleshooting charts.

If the ground to the batt. still doesn't get the lights to function, then we've got something else going on.

Glad you got it. Even thought it was self imposed. But that's how you learn. We did guess they were plugged into the housing.
And believe it or not, your picture actually looks tidy and in order compared to the inside of mine at the moment.
