    While they aren't as rare as those, I have always liked the Guide 682C lights with the marker light on top. There are a couple of very good reproductions now, like these from OTB.

    One's that work reliably.

    I like the big commercial units as well as the 682c like Don likes. I also like the brass lantern types found on some T Buckets, I think they are really classy. I have Dietz on my 34 and they look fine and work, so I doubt I will change anytime soon unless I can find some original 34 Plymouth lights.

    These E&J's go for some stupid money today. You either love them or hate them. I'd say rare.

    For unusual the Woodlite was a depression era favorite, they even made a matching cowl light. Were OEM on Ruxtons and Jordans.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    I almost bought a set of original 682C's for $12 but couldn't.. they were at an estate sale that my old shop teacher was running ( now an antique dealer ).. instead I told them to mark them up because they were worth way more than $12.. never went back to see if he did mark them up

    Here you go! (hold on to your wallet)-The Lights themselves are actually Harley V-Rod Headlights-

    I'm going to get a set (but I don't want them in Chrome, I want to Paint them)-
