Ford 861 12v gauge & headlight wiring

Hello Ford Team,
I have a Ford 861 tractor that has been converted to 12 volt. There is a 2 terminal junction box and a 2 terminal headlight push/pull control switch located on the side panel.
I have bought all new 12v gauges, dash accessory light, and headlights.
Some of the guages have 2 wires and I'm not sure and I'm not sure what junction box terminal the guages connect to and I don't know where the dash accessory light should be connected so it only comes on when I pull the switch to turn on the headlights.
Also, do the 12v headlights require 2 wires or is the single wire that was used on the original 6volt system sufficient to use?
I would appreciate any help that's out there!
Thanks,
Mike
 
Most head light systems used a single wire and a body type ground on the head lights. As for where to hook the dash light to you hook them to the same place you hook the wire for the head lights. As for gauges none of the ones that came on it used electric power to work other then the fuel gauge. The temp gauge was a bulb type and the oil pressure gauge had a line going to it. No amp gauge or at least my 841S did not have a factory amp gauge
