It's time to wire the lights on the MF35.

I assume they ground to the frame and only get a hot wire. The switch on the dash most likely serves the two on the front of the fenders. There may or may not be a second stage on the switch for the rear light.

I plan to use 12 gauge wire. Any special tricks in routing or tethering the wires? I'd kinda like to have them stay in place, once installed.

Does anybody bother to install a blue light for blowing out the end of his driveway?

You can wire as you choose. If you have 12v bulbs and a 12v batt, then daisy chain the hots and chassis gnd the colds as you said. But on the hood, there is usually a bad ground so I prefer to "bring" ground with the hot so as to insure a good return.

Some (folks)only want headlights on in pos1.

Some want heads and dash.

Some don't want a rear light till they hit the 2nd pos.

Some want dash on pos 2.

Suit yourself.
