C2 headlight limit switch wiring question

[David T.]

I am trying to replace limit switch and wiring that goes to the limit switches. My question is does the black wire go to the terminal labeled "common" and the grey wire with blue stripe go to terminal labeled "norm closed/Norm open" Car is 1966.
Thank you

David,

It does not matter which wire is connected to which terminal. When the headlight buckets are closed, the switch makes contact and current flows through the tattle tale 'lights' on the dash.

These are not 'limit' switches, just a tattle tale to let you know your headlights have not fully opened. They don't limit anything.
