    I bought a pair of headlights 55 years ago and was told they were 1933-34 headlights. They are 9 1/8 inches in diameter. Does anyone know if this is the right diameter for these headlights. They are painted and have a chrome ring in the front to hold in the headlight.
     
  2. The lens and reflector ads for 1933-34 headlights show 9 inches diameter.

    beware !
    the '33 headlight bucket is about 1" longer than a '34...
    the '34 is shorter as the hood had 2 handles and henry made the light shorter to clear the front handle …
    go henry go !
     

  4. And the 33-34 commercial are the shortest bucket for those years.
     
  5. And the rim is stainless steel, not chrome plated.

    If yours turn out to be anything other than 33 and you want a pair i have them. I'm going to use something else.
     
  7. Do you still have commercial 33 headlights?
