Rewiring lights on 74 Ambassador

Can anyone advise us about whether to re-wire the lights as is or put in a more updated system?

The hatches above the lights leaked and shorted out the bulbs etc.

We also need a decent wiring diagram--there are some odd electrical issues involving fuses, an after market radio draining the battery, and so forth.

First things first. Fix the leaks. Once that's done, you can move on to the wiring and lights. If you like the lights I would keep them. Otherwise, I'd covert some to fantastic fans (which is what I have in my Airstream), and some to lighting.
