Vintage Headlights
Oops ! I forgot to respond to this :
The proper thing to clean & polish old silvered reflectors if lamp black, art stores still sell it .
Last time I used cotton balls .
Then I tried having the old reflectors chromes and Lo ! they looked great and worked well enough to drive at night with the original 6 volt bulbs, they were 30 watt or so .
The 1157 bulb isn't going to illuminate enough to be safe but will at least make the lamps look good .
There is no shortage of original style headlight bulbs, no one wants them anymore .
'A' model F***s use the correct socket, easily available re pop .
Keep up the good works .
