    :) Looks aside ... As a side note ... I tried a set of King Bee style ones on my 32 roadster. They did OK on lighting the road but ... The big original style headlights with the new Bob Drake reflectors and the Silverstar h4 bulbs ... my headlights are as GOOD or better than most late model vehicles ... WAY better than the King Bees for lighting up the night.

    Bigger stock headlights will look better on that full-fendered beauty that's running bumpers and cowl lights.

    Keep those "BIG" opinions coming boys. It will make the king bees cheaper for me seeing that they are practically worthless.:D

    Not even a question the big ones would look better. Did the same thing myself.

    I like the small ones better. They blend in. After seeing so many with small lights the big ones look gigantic to me.

    I'm gonna say the original headlights,,,they have a timeless,,,,always look right,,,

    The King Bees are cool,,,but give the car a 70's look. HRP

    As a former girlfriend once said "Bigger is better"...that's why she's "former".
