Contact Daniel Stern ( google him )

 

Here it is www.danielsternlighting.com. he has a handle on lighting issues like this

 

HEy! that Daniel Stern lights are cheap! I mean, theyre not, but considerin how much i found'em for lateley they sure are.
Ive been trying to locate a set for someone in the staes for a couple of months, im in Italy, and all i found was junk or 150 bucks a piece pristine cond. ones, so i guess those are a deal.

 

i'm having issues with every time i click on the email link on his site shows error...can someone here try it and see if it fails????if not, a posting of his email here would be great....thanks mark

Not sure if the lenses are domed that much, but best to contact him. I used one of his kits 7 or 8 years ago on my '40 Chevy and the improvement in lighting was just great.

i'm really looking for just the glass lens,,,,i have already come up with a mounting ring (off freightliner semi) for installing compisite bulbs.,,the throoat of these are a perfect match in diameter and the composite bulbs slide in ..besides, it's the amount of dome that i like.......

 

That 'A' you have pictured is Mr. Ford's on here. I think they are '36 Ford?

 

thanks for the tip...i researched the 36 ford light and the lens is wrong.....mine are cibie and measure 7" across back and right at 2" dome... i guess they are gonna be a pain to replace the one....sad part is it's the domed glass that i liked so much about these citroen headlihgts...supposedly 20's or 30's era...........i been forgetting to post pics, guess that should be part of todays issues..........

 

any idea what kit you used there are various kits on his site

thanks bud

 

I'm sorry, I don't. I bought a pair of bulbs/lenses that look like sealed beams but take a replacement H4 bulb. I also bought relays and fuse holders from him and wired it all per his diagram. I was after improved lighting and got it. I think the Cibie lenses have much better optics in the reflector.

Since then I have been using his wiring diagram on all of my builds and have better lights with otherwise stock parts.
