    Question 32 or 33 commercial headlights?

     



    Where does a person find 32 or 33 commercial headlights for their roadsters? I was told that there are 32 commercial headlights, but I am not sure? Also I was informed that those commercial headlights are bigger, but the question is can you get them with halogen bulbs along with internal turn signals? If you are aware of any manufactures or websites not to mention prices the information would be greatly appreciated!!

    Yes the 32 and 33 commercials are bigger and they different... The 32 housing is more round and not quite as deep... The 33 and 34 commerical housings are a little more cone shaped. There are several companies that sell them. Below are a couple of links to Bob Drake Reproductions the first if for the 32 Commercial lights and the second link is to the 33-34 Commercial head lights... There are several options available for each including turn signals and Halogen lamps.

    Hope this helps...

    I have a brand new set of 33/34 quartz halogen 12 volt commercial h/lamps with integrao turn signals. The box was opened but the lights never mounted. Will sell for less than the Drake web site price....I can take a picture of them if necessary, the box is sealed back up right now.

    I changed to Jesse Greening's formed aluminum lights so these are left over.

    The commercial headlight that I saw was stainless steel and was roughly 10" in diameter. I was told it was a 32 or 33 commercial headlight but do not know for sure. It was a classy item and looked absolutely super! If I knew where it came from I would have a set of them. The headlight was positively NOT a 7" diameter inexpensive headlight.

    Big headlights are starting to become real popular.

    Do Plastic Surgeons charge by the inch or by the job?


    If by the inch, he is living on the Riviera after this job.


    Have you ever heard the expression "too much of a good thing?" I think I now fully understand the meaning of that .

    ????

     



    The links I gave you were not for 7" diameter headlights, you might want to check again as these are the exact look and style of either the 32 or 33 commercials... If these are not what you are looking for, then you are not looking for 32 or 33/34 commericals...

    If you had a photo maybe someone here could help you track down what you are looking for...

    Mike,

    I might be interested in those headlights if you have no other takers...

    I also am interested if Dave doesn't buy them.
    One thing to be aware of with '32 lights, they mount at an angle (front of mount lower than back of mount) and you must have a mount that works with them. The '33-'34 mount level and shouldn't be a problem.
    Less weight more speed; there's no substitute for cubic inches; If it don't go-chrome it
