    In this video we are fixing an issue that just came up with the 1954 Chevrolet Belair. We took it on a Cruise to make sure the brakes and newer engine didn't have any issues and found out the headlights don't work. It isn't ever a good time to find out your headlights don't work when its dark and you are a ways from home! I thought the issue was just the dimmer but it turns out it went deeper than that. I bought a new dimmer switch for the floor and a better more robust headlight switch. This car use to be 6 volt and was changed over to 12 volt before I bought it. I am just trying to keep it on the road as a driver for now. We now have a good working set of lights with a somewhat cleaned up wiring. Hit the Comments and let me know what you think.......

    While I am partial to a ‘55, I dig your ‘54. Love that blue. Agree with you on the foot switch for the dimmer. My first car in high school had that. Very convenient.

    That hole in the fire wall bugs me. You can make a grommet for it. Take some hose. We used washer fluid hose. Because we had alot of it. And it was the most flexible. But cut a slit in it. Fit it in the hole cut it for size. Then put either caulk in it. Of weather strip glue. Put it back on the firewall. No more worries about shorting out wires. Be well and keep cool.

    I had to switch my headlights over to relays on all my old cars with a dimmer switch like that . I was going through dimmer switches like crazy . New bulbs pull more current than those switches can handle .

    Travis, I love your '54. I have enjoyed all the work you have put into it. Have you checked in on a Vintage Air a/c system? That would really make the car a comfortable family cruiser.
