Can you tell me what this headlight is called?

They're on my '36 parts truck...I need to find the gl*** for the top indicator housing.

 

good luck!

 

Care to eloborate just a bit

 

Dunno what your light is (doesn't look like early Ford) but these guys might be able to help:

Cool, I'll send them a pic and see if they can help. The indentations of the indicator housing has me confused for ID.

 

Can you shoot it from front, showing lens and rim latch?? I'm thinking stock with an odd signal light bolted on.

 

Ask, and ye shall receive!

 

OK...sealed beam converted...general bucket shape looks stock, but I need to go find pics. Does stainless rim have a spring loaded latch down at bottom in that shadow??

 

I'll run out and check again, but I don't think so...I recall running my hand around it to see if I could easily take the rings off...I'll be back in a few...thanks for your help!

 

Dang, lost my connection for a bit...but the trim ring is held on by a screw,,,be\\never noticed it before...actually put my gl***es on and was able to read some writing on top of the indciator housing ...Dietz 820 B...also looks like the top of the headlamp bucket is indented for the indicator housing...certainly not an add-on thing.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

 

I believe that the little light was originally a parking light....

 

i have the same exact headlights. the gl*** piece is round like a gl*** cap. not semi circle but complete like a thimble. lights on top are parking lights and are original to the design. keep your eye on ebay. i also might be able to come up with some replacement lenses.

 

Awesome...PM if you can come up with some PL lenses, I'd really like to run these, that have a nice look to them.

Thanks

Oh...any idea what they came from?

 

im not sure. aftermarket? stock. seen them on fords though. im using my parking light for blinkers.

 

i would call it a front headlight.

 

OK...I have an old Dietz catalog...will look for it
