    I found this pair of headlights and spreader bar with headlight stantions today for $25 bucks. I'd like to know what there off of. The left headlight says Es*** motor cars Spreadlight and the other is a Parabeam headlamp.
    Maybe the Parabeam is a replacement and the whole thing is from an Es***?

    I think you maybe right I remember seeing lights like that on an es*** before but I have to find the pictures...its been several years...I see the lens on the left is turning a light purple due to the lead in it

    Do the rims and buckets match, and only the lenses differ?

    If i'm correct, those lights were attached to the steering arms and turned in the same direction as the wheels when you turned the steering wheel so you could see what was in front of you. A friend of mine was selling a set just like yours (but from a different car maker)recently for $500. so i would say that you made a good buy!
