Hot Rods Definitive Deuce Headlight Placement Thread

I don't have a 32. I just have my opinion. I've always liked a big set of, Oh Yeah Headlights! But I don't care for bra's. I also think they look cool low. But all cars aren't the same. So there's never a sit rule. Except that you do them to suit yourself. I'm building a Drag T Coupe. It will look better without any headlights, or a radiator. So the radiator will be in the trunk, and the headlights will be a simple plug in and off, for street use. Here's a sketch of the way I like'em. This is a great picture thread. So keep'em coming! Thanks Ron...

 

Uh, oh! A dropped bar slipped in there on the Bill Woodard Roadster built in the late ‘50’s- early 1960. I wonder if the other guys just didn’t know how to drop a h/l bar for a Deuce BITD, with no aftermarket to do it for them.

 

A pair of Big Uns hangin down low.

 

Hey, some hambers you just never know what the f'n pic will be!! LMAO..His name starts with FARM!!!... My Laptop was slowly opening the pic from the top going down,,,, I see a country vista... Chit, i'm thinking this guy is gonna show the back end of a bull!

 

Fenderless, this is about perfect right here. Small and low (below the tops of the front tires), and placed with the lens just in front of the grill, not too far forward, not too far back.

This is one is good too:


Fendered, like this:

 

Low and without headlight bar.

 

My 32 5 window hi-boy with 29 model a headlights and my sedan with original 32 headlights.

 

Great stuff, tofords. Thanks for posting.

 

Back up for further consideration....

 

I like them all, but prefer dropped. I know its not a Duece, but I would love find a dropped headlight bar for my 31 Chevy. They just don't exist. Thought about cutting and flipping an original, but not sure how that would workout. Wide open for suggestions....
