DJ194950 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 ;)not 100% sure of your search, but look at headwinds headlights. pricey but very nice. i just googled the name above. happy hunting doug Quote
Andydodge Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 Tim, checkout your local Jaguar wrecking yard........XJ6 Jags had a smaller, think around 5" driving light that might be what you are looking for.......andyd Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Posted June 13, 2011 unless I am missing something I cannot find a flush mount lamp assembly under the headwind headlamps search...I want to mimick the VDP look on one of my English cars..the Jaguar I had forgotten all about and will look at these a lot closer...I had tried to find the early Dodge setup of the 60's but the bezels are not split..other US makes same story..non seperate bezels...

greg g Posted June 14, 2011 Report Posted June 14, 2011 59 Olds but probably not many left around. Quote
greg g Posted June 14, 2011 Report Posted June 14, 2011 61 Chevy for which there should be numerable vadors with repops. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Posted June 14, 2011 trouble with the 61 chevy..is the headlight doors are not seperate..I had already look at this..will look closer at the Olds you showed..GM used a lot of 4 headlight system..as did other and it usually boils down to a common door left and right..I just cannot imagine all the kits out there for 7" singles but nothing retro for a 4 headlight 5 3/4 set up..of course motorcycle stuff is out there..but individual adjustable housings/mounts is a bust..

falconvan Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 Tim, did you try a company called Hagan? I know they make some different custom headlight items. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Posted June 15, 2011 Falconvan...I had always attributed that name to frenched kits..but on your suggestion I did go look ..they sell bulbs for the 5 3/4 size lamps that did make mention of fitting their 775 system..searching on 775 come up with a kit for the flush 5 3/4...that is very close to what I am looking for.. I will send a message to Hagan asking for overall dimesions for that product..thier door is quite large for the size of bulb..seems these are conversion kits to a few special vehicles of the late 30's thanks for the tip Quote
martybose Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 Tim, did you try a company called Hagan? I know they make some different custom headlight items. I had thought of Hagan when I saw the initial request, but everything they make are for 7" headlights. Marty Quote
StayFrosty Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 The Jaguar XJ6 light buckets may work but the Bezel will not. I have a '74 XJ6 and I took a look at it this morning. They do not have the chrome bezels around the lights per se as they are actually inset slightly in to the fender and hood. Quote
Andydodge Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 Tim, also suggest you checkout Night Prowlers in Kansas I think.........they have a huge range of custom parts .......andyd Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Posted June 15, 2011 thanks, I did the night prowlers earlier also...I would never have thought that finding this would be so challenging.. Quote
