I was told these headlights,found in an antique store are '35-'36 Ford truck lights with 6V sealed beam conversions. Can anyone verify this or correct me,please? Also I would very much like to know how they were orginally wired,especially the small lens in the trim ring.

The trim ring was originally chrome and there is a small plactic(?) lens acoss the top that reads "Dietz". Any help is great;l appreciated. More photos are available. Thanks.

For starters, Ford headlights, car or truck, from that vintage should be with separate bulbs, not sealed beams (sealed beam headlights did not come to Ford until 1940, the same year they hit the entire industry). Second, there should be Ford script on them someplace, not Deitz, who was a maker of lighting systems, but I don't believe they supplied anything to Ford.
