Thanks sir it is tucked away in the barn. I was going to buy wire on my way home if needed.

The harness is pre wired for lights, but the lights and switch wires won't be there unless it's had lights at one time.

there there should be a breakout in the harness with a male packard style terminal is all.

Well, it's been a long long time since I had a QL to check this BUT, I'm thinking the wire harness does come with the wiring and plug for the light switch. I think it's taped up close to the ignition switch plug. And I agree with David there is a male packard style terminal for the hot wire to the lights. I think it's tucked away along the inside of the frame about in line with the starter. IH does a real good job hiding this wire inside the frame making it really hard to see or even feel when the engine is still in place.

Well Charlie - there is some wiring taped in the harness inside the dash pedestal. Seems to me the fuse for the lights is already wired as well.

My 1250 did not have a fuse for the lights.

There is no wiring for lights anywhere on this 1200.

Well, pretty certain you will find that main wire in the harness with a packard plug, which I believe is what Charlie and Dave are really saying. Have a good hard look along the frame where the starter is located. It's probably tucked up really tight in that lip of the frame. The other end of the wire will be taped someplace in the harness inside the dash pedestal area.

I don't think the 1200 will have a plug for lights built into the harness. I doesn't show up in the wiring diagrams.
That being said I have never owned a 1200.

The diagram does show E lift or lights either. But the harness has the connections for both.
