The problem with my headlamps refusing to illuminate in spite of power to
them at their harness connectors and apparent adequate ground connections
was, as many of you suggested: a bad ground. However, the bad ground was
in a wire to the right front side marker light. I soldered on a new bullet
terminal, and now all is well. I'm still not quite clear on why this would
happen, since each headlamp has its own separate ground wire - although all
of the black wires in the front of the car are connected together via the
typical Lucas wiring connectors.
Thanks to all for your suggestions!
