    I agree.... 33/34 commercial would look good. I have them on my 29 and was originally going to use a 32 grille with'em until I changed my mind on the grille

    Depends on the car really....some look good with large lights, others look better with smaller light.

    I'm leaning toward the larger ones--32's are 10" I think--what size are the 33/34 commercials?
     
  8. '33/'34 Commercial lights, with the backsides painted body color on a dropped bar.

    Someone told me that the 32 lights don't throw a good beam because of the lense design---anyone know anything about that?--What ever I get will be new halogen--wired thru relays

    The bar is dropped and it is a fenderless car----I bought HomadeHardtop57's roadster and am thinking about taking the E&J's off after the Jalopyrama

    I like the early sealed beams and the original lights. I don't care for the King Bee tiny lights.

    903J, it`s a seven inch light (i think, don`t have mine handy). it has a rounded back and the depth of the bucket compliments the depth of the radiator shell, when viewing from the side. FWIW

    The size that looks good to you. It's your car.
