Anybody know where the headlight reflectors can be bought that are in the latest issue of Streetrod Builder. Seems that they never mentioned the manufacturer beside the picture. Can they be utilized with a Deitz style 7 inch sealed beam bucket... that is, take out the sealed beam, and replace with the reflector and find a 7 inch lens? Like the signal light in the bucket idea but don`t like the 9 inch Ford style size. Thanks and Merry X-mas to all. Roger

Cheap and easy...paint the inside buckets silver or aluminum foil works too I'd imagine...works on tail lense buckets.

Thanks for the link. Any idea if you can remove the sealed beam light and replace with a reflector and a lens. I can not quite figure out if thats what they are selling. My headlights are 7 inch Dietz. I see that they sell a 7 inch reflector kit and what they refer to as a halogen lens. Am I confused or what???

If you break the seal on sealed beams, you'll burn out the element. That's the reason there sealed. I havn't seen the mag yet. but it sounds like they're using the halogen bulb.
