    I picked these up at a garage sale I'm trying to find out how old or what years they were produced. Any idea how much there worth?

    They are easily worth a grand.

    All I ever find is melted Tupperware bowls at yard sales.

    I knew they are E&J type 20, I have only seen these at shows never on any of my customer cars so I have never figured out what they were originally on or made for. I took one apart and checked the guts out I will post a pic of the inside. I think there bad ass looking

    I am not sure 100%, but look up Kissel Gold Bug (it's a sporty car) on google image search.

    I think they were factory on those, and I sort of recall maybe others as well.

    No really, they are old submarine headlights... I'll double your garage sale price, say 20 bucks and you pay the shipping. What are they worth WHAAAAA!!!

    I always thought they were an after market/ small production lights. I would see them go in similar shape for 1200 at the swap meet.

    They were an aftermarket item that did end up on a few production cars like the Jordan Playboy.

    They were made in the mid 20's but the technology is far ahead of it's time. Some of the lights come with half filters in them that make the light act as a fog light also. They shine clear down and yellow up.

    Can you tell I have two pair?

    Also there should be aiming instructions on the inside attached to the badge stud. Carefule opening them. The screw on the back only comes out so far then the washer should pop out.

    I knew somebody here would know, I'm thinking there going to be for sale now. I could use other parts I need to finish other projects. I'm taking one apart and taking pics of the inside.I will post up later I would rather see them get used on a car rather than hanging on my wall in the shop. Thanks guys
