Headlights

[Mars]

30 cf sedan. Wondering if many of you drive these 6 volters at nite? I don't get nearly enough light. Are there other bulbs available?

Talk to Bill at Uvira.

You have to get your reflectors nickel or silvered first. then send them to Uvira.

When the dentist pulls that light down to work on your teeth??

Same stuff. An aluminized glass coating. 

This is what most people do to keep things original.

My reflectors are still in the box. Haven't installed the headlights yet. ( 30 Chrysler )

Hope this helps. May be some one else knows something better.

Thanks very much

Turn on the lights, then attach a separate earth wire to the head light shell. If the light improves, you have a poor ground. New bulbs won't fix that.

 

My '30 DC Dodge Brothers has the original lights with 19 cp bulbs. They are fine for night driving for me. From memory, they are "prefocus" so the bulb needs to be in the right place in front of the reflector. Also from memory, the screw in the centre rear of the head light is used to adjust the bulb position, forward and back.

Concur with both Bill Harmatuk and Spinneyhill. For what it is worth, I wrote up what I did to improve the lights on my '33: http://www.ply33.com/Repair/lights
