24 Roadster Headlight Options
Looking for options to replace the headlights in the picture. The the original headlights were replaced with the ones in the photo. Hard to read the print but it looks like "Westinghouse 4330 6-8v. I'm sticking with the original 6v system and do not want to add the 12v mc battery. Suggestions?

The Whole Enchilada
Lee. Do You have any pictures of the headlight can's mounted on the car. their enclosure and mounting hardware. Look's like You may need all new Model T headlight assembly if they tore up original's in the sealed beam modification ? or just replaced them with replacement sealed beam light's and hopefully saved the old light's in the process.
Good Luck

Re: 24 Roadster Headlight Options
More pictures are needed to see if the headlight cans were modified. A picture of where the wires go in will tell a lot (both cans). Not necessary to take the lights apart.... yet
The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: 24 Roadster Headlight Options
It looks like the whole headlights were modified, including the rim. Do I detect phillips screws in them? I imagine everything you will need is missing. It may be in your interests to replace the whole headlight. They are not expensive, and it will give you everything you need.

Re: 24 Roadster Headlight Options
Looks like you just need the socket assemblies with the adjusters and then you'll need lenses and reflectors. Need to see inside of the rings to see if the lens mounting stuff is intact.
I have a decent pair of reflectors, lenses and possibly sockets if you're interested.

Re: 24 Roadster Headlight Options
Larry is right, the rings do look "screwy"...
