Doing some rewiring and need a pin out/diagram/picture of the headlight Switch. Can someone share that with me please. The wiring was removed from the car so I couldn't just pull and replace.
Normally, the dome light wires are pink and yellow; pink is the feed from the fuse box and yellow supplies the ground at the door switch and headlight switch.

As it has already been stated, the yellow wire goes to ground someplace and as I recall there is no provision for a yellow wire at a 59 Ply headlight switch. It simply isn't needed. Your dome lights get a ground via the door switches or a switch on the light bezel.

Not sure about the '59 but most HL switches have letters stamped in the fiber board where the terminals are attached.
Example:
B1=Battery
B2= Battery
I= Instrument lights
P= Park lights
D= Dimmer (This is where the yellow wire would attach, grounds when rotary dimmer is turned full left)

Thanx for all the help... to those interested the yellow dome light wire connects to the sliding map/some Switch on the dash above the ash tray and not the Headlight switch. Maybe this will help someone else that may face the same or similar issues.

Yes. True. There is, of course, a yellow wire that goes to a 59 headlight switch but it is power to the parking lights. Nothing for map/dome lights goes to the headlight switch.
