Re: AD wiring

I just finished wiring my '51 with an EZ wiring harness. There are a few things to think about when you do your lights.

Steering column - If you are using a newer GM or Ididit column it's easy to do. The EZ kit includes a flat plug that will attach to the columns stock wiring. I don't know what's involved with a different style column.

Dimmer Switch - Usually a floor mount switch like this to control your brights. This wil also plug right in to the EZ harness.

Headlights/ Relay - I highly recommend the Cibie headlights and using a relay.

I used a relay kind of like this, don't remember the exact one: https://www.amazon.com/2-Headlight-H...70_&dpSrc=srch

Front park lights/ turn signals - If get LED,you will need no load flashers. Or stock style like these:

Headlight switch - It looks like you have this figured out. I just used a stock '68 Chevy truck switch.
