The stock engine/glow plug harness has all the engine wires in it.

For headlights, check the following thread.

This is a good deal, I get my power from the positive battery terminal and ran 10 guage wire for all my wiring between the battery terminal and the headlights.
Advance Auto has a heavy duty headlight connector for the old style headlights (three prong) that has larger wire into the plug that I used as well.

Brighter headlights with less power through the headlight switch and bulbs that last longer are the benefit of this upgrade.
