Thanks Mark, I'll search for the original (illustrator? sheesh, must have been 10 years ago I drew it) file of the early headlight diagram and edit it. Meanwhile I'll add your notes to my post.

This is not really true and misleads people into thinking those 2 wires are fuse protected. They merely connect to the back of the fuse holder on the end that the fuse itself gets power from sharing that power source. The fuse does nothing for those red wires.
