Wanted: 1936 Chrysler headlight parts

My 1936 Chrysler has a sealed-beam headlight conversation from the 1940s, which seems like a good idea, but I'm having a problem with current regulation, and I don't like how they look.

I have a brand new set of original headlight lenses, but I need the original reflectors and sockets.

The sockets might not matter as much as the reflectors because I'm thinking of installing six-volt halogen bulbs which, I believe, will take different sockets anyway.

Thanks,

JON

Jon,

Check with Tod Fitch ( Ply33) about the 1930's composite headlights... he did some upgrading to his '33 Plymouth's original headlights and seemed quite happy with the results...

Will keep eyes open for some reflectors...

Thanks, Frank.

I'll check with Tod.

Jon : Don Axlerod out in timson mass. used to carry all that stuff. After you find the reflectors have them coated at uvira laser optics , make sure you have a full 6 volts to the sockets and that the reflectors are grounded , and you will have headlights that are just as good as sealed beams.

I did the headlights in my '30s cars this way and they are bright.

Let me know if I can help further gunfixer2003@yahoo.com

Thanks, Evan. I'm leaving with the Chrysler on a three-day trip around the San Joaquin Valley here in California, and I'll look into these sources when I get back.

I really appreciate the help from everyone, and I'll let you know what happens.
