Which style do you want?
"1926" style that mounts to the fender
or
"1927" style that mounts to the headlight bar

Re: WTB 1926 -27 Headlight
Langs has them. I had to replace one on my 27. https://www.modeltford.com/item/6512.aspx
They also have a rebuilding kis in chrome and nickel. I used one of the nickel ones. It is a good kit but required me to slightly reduce the outer diameter of the reflector to get it to fit properly onto the head light bucket. I compared the original reflector to the replacement and the replacement was definitely slightly larger in outer dia. This caused it to not fit/seat correctly into the bucket. Once I sanded down the OD of the replacement it fit just fine.
