Headlights

Listers,
I've been working on a 66 Sprite with my son since bringing it home in 
August. I have developed two problems that I'm having trouble 
with.  I'll  be happy to solve one at a time.
I am using the original wiring harness.  I got the fuel gauge working, but 
now it stopped.  The dash lights, high beam light and tach have't worked 
yet.  Tail lights, brake lights, directionals and front marker/directionals 
work, but stopped flashing.  I've never been able to get the headlights to 
work.  Lights on the front are all new and they work when wired direct to 
the battery.  I've checked and rechecked all black grounds under the 
dash.  There's only one brown wire in the main harness that has nowhere to 
go.  I checked the ground under the hood, under the blower hose, used, 
dielectric grease, star washer, etc.  Still no headlights.  Where do the 3 
wires from the dimmer switch connect at the front end.  How does one side 
connect to the other headlight?
Related but not problem 2 yet...  where does the horn mount and why doesn't 
it work when I connect the two purple wires?
This is my first Sprite and I love the car.  I've missed the chance to 
drive it a bit before winter, since we had 5" of snow already and it's 25 
degrees, but I'd love to have it ready for a warm day sometime. TIA
