I just noticed you said H4 on the 8 1/2's. Now I'm real nervous. I'm wanting bright lights. LOL's. Maybe I should adapt some Hella Flamethrowers to fit behind the factory lens. Just kidding. I know how I feel when I meet the 'bright lighters'.

Anyone know if the 33-34 Commercial lights can be adapted to H4 with a kit....or should I just retrofit something. Seems like H4 bulbs can be bought with different intensity's Heatwave. Have you tried a brighter bulb? I remember putting much brighter bulbs in my race bike years ago. So much so that it destroyed my charging system over time.

Bear with me...I'm really not to good on the years of the 30's Fords. The yellow coupe...33? I like those headlights.

And the ones on the Blue convertible. Like the shallow lights...especially the flat lens.

Can any of you identify these?

Thanks,
