Don,we have a friend down here who imports the Rebel kit,,and he has sold quite a lot of them..I have seen these myself,and although I am nearly useless with wiring,I think I could wire up a car with one of those,quite easily..

I used to make up my own wiring from marine supplies, when I was in that business. But for the price Rebel gets I couldn't buy the individual components and the wires would not be marked with where they go...........that in itself makes it so much easier to route and sort out. I was very happy with the Rebel kit and I had a lot of extra lengths of cut off wire to hook up other stuff I might have to do in the future.

I know i'm biased as i'm the UK Rebel dealer but i use them for all my builds these days, I've been dealers for all the others at some point and can honestly say Rebel are the best i've found, also Bob who runs Rebel is a wealth of free info and a very nice chap too.

I've used most all kit, Rebel is very good; EZ is similiar and a few others come to mind - dick frances etc. American is for the professional while Rebel, EZ etc are for the enthieusiest. The American kit will provide you with the actual pins for a lamp socket and you create/assemble the socket in its entirety, make it waterproof and without splice - exactly as OEM. Rebel & EZ etc have a number of preterminated/spliced devices, ie the flasher, ignition sw come to mind so that if you want your fusebox behind or under the seat you'll have a problem to deal with; or, if you want some stuff on the dash (ign & Lights) but want the wiper switch overhead - you'll have a problem.
I prefer the American, i put stuff where i want it; harness/loom the wires and it is a clean installation. The Rebel & EZ will be nearly as good if you locate everything as they have intended - ie, put everything in 'normal' locations. Some wireing cannot be loomed, you bundle it & route it with tye wraps because of the preterminated connectors.
