Thread: Quick headlight question

Tweet

Okay, I don't have exactly the right hardware on hand to show you what yours might look like, but this should do it. The first is a '41 commercial headlamp assy that resembles the '35 but came from the factory with seal beams. The part to note here is the retainer ring that clamps around the circumfrance of the bulb to hold it in. The stainless bezel goes over this to hide it. The second pic is a backside shot of the internal "bucket" that holds the bulb, notice the notches that match up with the "tits" (highly technical term) on the back of the bulb to ensure proper clocking. If you've got seal beams this would be inside the light housing to seat the bulb in, it may look somewhat different, but function the same. These are normally made to fasten to the face flange of the light housing.
