Headlight Question

Post by SteveinNJ » Mon Aug 03, 2020 9:33 pm

I see there's a 12V Halogen Headlight upgrade for Model A's where they give you a new reflector, bulbs, & hardware. I was wondering if that kit would work for my 26 Coupe Headlights? Are the A-Bone reflectors the same size as a T reflector? Anybody try this kit in their T Headlights?

Save your generator and go with LEDs. google: MTFCA LED, find a comfortable chair and start reading. :) If your reflectors need replacing, get the good ones from Snyder's or Lang's.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

Have an A used the halogen kit. Not worth it. The best way to improve light is Aluminum Oxide reflectors.
