37-39 Ford Headlight Measurements

[Flat Ernie]

Can anyone measure their headlight lenses for me? Curious about the new (now gone) Indian Scout headlights - I think I can get a housing relatively cheap, but wondering about a lens - looks like 37-39 Ford teardrop lens.

Approx Indian housing dimensions are 8-5/8" tall by 6-7/8" wide at widest.

Thinking 'bout using one on my 45 project...I think it'll be a bit bigger than I'm after, but might look different...

TIA

38 and 39 lenses -- and trim rings -- are different. Not sure about the 37. I ran a tape over the curve of the '38 and it meaures approx 9 x 11.5 inches. -- that's just the lens, the trim ring adds more
