Exclamation Headlights not working HELP!!

Ok so i have an 1987 mustang gt. yesterday when i took the car out for a drive i noticed everytime i used the left side turn signal the headlights would flicker on and off. now today i was in the garage checking all the wires and so fourth and now they stopped working all together. My dash lights do not work at all i had to wire 3 bulbs behind the dash to a switch just so i can see the dash lights at night. my headlights are not working at all. the corner lights and parking lights all work along with the rear tail lights but no headlights.The wiring in my car is so beyond screwed, is their any ideas to what my problem might be?I notice there are 3 wires that go to the headlight bulb, Red Green and black, i figure red is power and black is ground, what would green be? do you think i should cut into the harness and wire the headlights to a switch as i did my dash lights? how hard can it be? anyone with any advice or info please let me know.

There should be a ground, a lowbeam hot, and a highbeam hot. I'd guess the switch, but it's kinda hard to say, if the wiring has been "modified".
