Secondly, if you can’t access the car just look at a 70-71 vintage MPC (factory parts catalogue) and see if they list dash harnesses with or without cornering lamps.

Funny tidbit, I’ve noticed that 68-69 GTO’s with hideaways all have the cornering lamp wires in the forward lamp harness (even on cars without cornering lamps installed) but non hideaway cars without cornering lamps do not have those wires in the forward harness. I guess they were compromising between not putting unnecessary cost into all cars and limiting part number proliferation?
Dang. Unfortunately, I don't have the car here to check and I don't have a 1970 or 71 Master Parts Catalog. I guess my options are to wait till I can get under the dash to look or if someone on here that has the catalog could look it up for me or I will have to find a catalog to purchase.

I have a November 69 MPC so it has 1970 numbers but they are not bulletproof like say the early 1970 printing where they would have firmed up things for the new model year. I'll have a look and get back to you. btw if they were missing its a pretty easy add to install them, basically one wire from the headlight switch for power to the parking lights to the column connector than two wires from the column connector to the corresponding plug holes on the bulkhead behind the fuseblock, don't need to change the dash harness, they are very expensive and hard to replace without pulling the whole dash which is a job and a half on a GP especially.
