"BULLS EYE" Headlights


Guest

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any idea where "bulls-eye" headlights from the early fifties can be found ? Chrysler used them on their cars in the early fifties and possibly the late forties. I though that I had read some time ago about gluing on fake bulls eyes to look like the originals - any ideas ? [color:"blue"]

I have a 54 Plymouth with one of them on it. I will be replacing it when I get to that project, just due to the possible high-costs of purchasing another one to match. I have heard they can be very expensive and hard to find. I don't believe that you could fake one of these very well. The "bullseye" is cast into the glass and extrudes outward.

The bulbs are expensive...and hard to find, though not inpossible. I paid $180 for a pair of them. Both were NOS and dated 1950. I found them on EBay, you may want to try searching there or put an ad in the WPC Club newsletter.
