Headlight re-wiring

Headlight re-wiring
I have completed the work with my 1953 Ford truck grille. I will be reworking the headlight buckets. The wiring is very old and exposed. I want to replace with newer wiring. I have considered buying some of the aftermarket wiring harness with relays and ceramic ends. Does anyone have any good experience or information in choosing a specific part or vendor? Any information is greatly appreciated. In closing, I do want to thank everyone that helps each other with the great threads and information they post. I read them all and learn much.

When I initially wired my '55 I bought a crossover harness from Mid Fifty to do this. It worked well with no issues. Now when she comes back from paint, I will install a complete EZ Wiring harness kit throughout and it appears that the crossover will not be required since each light and turn signal is individually wired. I believe you can order the new ends for the headlights if yours are old and damaged. My two cents.

Thanks
Thank you gentleman for the responses. I am leaning toward purchasing new ceramic light harness with relays. I was able to read back from early post from members and found some great ideas & what others have done. I could also purchase original wiring harness, but I think I would be much more pleased with better lighting that the relays in the harness would bring. Psmith
