Thread: 32' through 34' Ford headlights?

Tweet

I'm interested in what I believe are 32-34' "commercial" headlights that I've seen on many 32' and 33-34' Fords. They have a distinct lens pattern that look like they have an "eye-brow" in the upper 1/3 or so of the lens. Some also come with a separate amber bulb to use as an integrated turn-signal.

My questions are:

1.) What diameter are these headlights?
2.) Are they available in a halogen package (lens-reflector with separate bulb)?
3.) Who sells them?
4.) What is an average price?

Thanks much, Greg

Greg this is a good place to start looking

Thanks much Viking.

Thanks Bob. I see that they are 10" diameter and I have 7" diameter buckets. Do you know anyone who has a 7" diameter light with a similar appearance?

You probably have either the Dietz or King Bee style that is designed for a standard, dual filament, sealed beam bulb rather than a separate lense type. To my knowledge there aren't any available. The only possibility I can think of would be a mid thirties GM, and even those were somewhat larger if I remember correctly. Sealed beams became prevalent in 1940, so your search would need to be prior to that.

Hey big daddy, the Flamethrower headlamp was a Lucas item, they were the sport car crowds favorite "driving light" of the sixties. But they had a completely clear lense rather than prismed, and were an integrated bulb rather than separate reflector and lense.

Fiber optics???

Time for another CRS pill??????????
