I need help finding out what wire goes to the high beam indicator light. I have the diagram that shows what colored wire goes to what, but I have found out that my wires have faded and some of them don't match to the list. I have white wires that have no strip on them, faded away. Everything else is working, all the lights come on and flash. Turn signals work, one stupid question I have is there only one turn signal light for left, and right ? Attached thumbnail(s)

It's originally a white wire with a blue tracer.. and would not have had a female spade. That wire terminates inside of a single metal bulb holder (which in turn gets grounded by the metal gauge casing when installed).
You didn't mention what year, but that wire either originates at the High beam / Low beam combo relay (early cars) or at the #1 fuse spot (on later cars). ps - the above info may be year specific as I see that the paper diagram you've pictured shows #9 on the center gauge as being the hi-beam indicator light and it has a two-prong plastic bulb holder. |

That diagram is for the 1974 model specifically.

You could put a test light on those loose wires when you activate the high beam switch and see if one of them lights up (in case someone replaced the original wire with something else).
