    Sorry, maybe I'm the only guy that doesn't like the look of BLC's, my Roadster will run Model A or '32 headlights

    Electrolines are cool, but rarely seen.

    I agree- - - when the car has fenders. Highboys need something smaller.
     
  17. I really like '33 commercial lights down low on a '32 Highboy!

    I'll post another vote for stock 32 headlights. I like the look of a larger headlight on an A
     
  25. I'm probably the only guy in the world who thinks E&Js are funny looking. Never understood the appeal.

    Woodlites are even funnier looking....

  27. Agreed. And both are very expensive. But the Woodlites have character, spooky/gothic thing. Aren't they on the Munster Koach? The E&Js just have funny proportions in my opinion. Just an opinion, hope I don't hurt anyone's feelings, I realize a lot of famous cars have used them, and they are a very traditional piece.
