Rewiring headlights on a 1950 Ford Tudor
I am rewiring the headlights on my 1950 Ford. I have the wiring diagram to help me but I have a question. As I removed the old wires, the ground wire was grounded at the wiring block for each headlight. The diagram shows the ground wires connected together and then run to the harness by the battery. Would there be any difference in the grounding of the wires if I follow the diagram rather than stopping at the wiring block. Thank you

Don't think so but keeping ground wires short is a rule of thumb. I've grounded other lights and the sending unit and attached wires to the frame as close as convenient.

A tip for brighter headlights:
Use the existing switching system to activate relays up near the radiator, relays powered by heavier gauge wire. On the grounding, run ground wires from headlights directly to frame, not just to fenders. These improved connections will then supply your lights with almost zero resistance.

As long as the headlights are grounded properly either way then that's the main thing. |
