Depending on how butchered the stock harness is you could always re-wire the headlights to a relay and run it to the stock switch. You’d have to get a wiring diagram for the headlight switch so you know what wire to use to trigger the relay.

i had a trans am where the factory headlight harness burned up. So I installed HID bulbs and made my own headlight harness that used a relay. Not difficult..

what other accessories do you need functioning?

im trying to jog my memory from when I had my Fbody (7 years ago)... I want to say that there is a fuse block on the inside of the cabin and that powers the radio etc.

Can you post of pictures of the front end and where the harness was cut? That may be helpful
