    It depends. How big in diameter are the present bulbs? Pull one apart and see what you have inside. You would probably have to do some modifications to the housing to secure the bulb in place. If they aren't 7 inches in diameter I also don't think they are legal to be used as headlights, but not totally sure about that.

    I have a similar situation. My headlights are Speedlight, one wire, big in diameter. I have seen a picture of an Essex with these mounted down low and normal looking headlights up in customary position. I was going to use mine alone, but gave in and bought a set of Dietz. Perley

    Thanks all for the help. I'm going to mount them up and see what they look light. Worst case..... I get a set of 7" cans for the Autoloc tri-bars I bought a couple years ago.....
