    I've always liked big headlights! Are you using So-Cal brackets?

    I dig the lights.

    The radials, aluminum radiator, smooth firewall, billet air cleaner...

    not so much.

    looks perfect to me. I think the smaller lights look out of place.

    Big is cool. Big inside of some teardrop shaped housing is better.

    Oh, oh. This sounds like one of those *dangerous*,
    'trick questions' like "Do these pants make me
    look fat?
    " that the wife or girlfriend always asks!
    :D Seriously, the lights look good to me. More
    importantly though, do *you* like them? That
    should be all that counts! Who makes (or made)
    the stanchions they're mounted on???? Those look
    really good.

    If you like them, fine.But, since you asked, they look too big from the angle of your photograph.
     
  25. I love the look of the larger lights down low on a '32!

    You might try playing with a little lower and/or closer together, but they do look great just the way they are.

    They look good! keep 'em
     
  27. If you are used to the looks of long ago, the larger headlights look so much more natural to the car than any of the smaller headlights that came along much later.

    I think the large lights help put your car into the earlier days of rodding.

    Smaller lights make it look like a later "copy".

    Larger lights look more "retro" than smaller lights.
