Re: Headlight bezel help.
I can't ID those exact ones, but '54 Dodges and Plymouths used similar (but longer) headlight rings to give their '53 sheetmetal an updated "deeper" or frenched look. I'd imagine any bodystyle that had been around long enough to see the frenched headlight trend would have a similar headlight ring by the mid-50's. The first place I'd look are the '53 Chevy & Pontiac sedans, for example.

Re: Headlight bezel help.
They could be Plymouth or Dodge from the early 50's or could be 51 Ford Car.
53 Dodge  51 Ford

Re: Headlight bezel help.
Those relays really save on switches when you run Halogen lights with high watt bulbs. I wouldn't build another car or truck without them. With the 55/100 watt H-4 bulbs in my 71 I was burning out a dimmer switch every three months until I added relays.
