    Can anyone help me ID these guide headlights? They're chrome 8 inches across and about 6 1/2 - 7 deep. They don't look that old and have Guide stamped on the back but I cant find a part number. Can anyone ID them? Or what are they worth? The guy that has them told me to make an offer but idk if they're worth $5 or $500. Thanks [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    you guys are great, I searched the web for days but found nothing. Any idea what they're worth? I understand something is only worth what one would pay, but I don't want to insult the guy selling them yet I don't want to rip myself off.

    Worth every penny IMO, those support brackets are hard to find and the buckets look to be in pretty pretty condition as well the lenses and trim rings. I had my reflectors resilvered and added QH bulbs and there will be someone in need of them!
    Here are braces and NOS lenses to give some an idea on prices. To figure out a price, have a look at what Dietz and King Bee sell for as well as BLC's.

  10. They're beautiful and I would think easily worth $200 for the pair. I would offer him that and go from there depending on just how much you like them.:D..........Guide still makes lighting for current vehicles, my OT S-10 has Guide headlights. I assume that it is the same company.

    bonus... they appear to have sealed beam conversions that hide pretty well..
    but parabolic refraction occurs when you try and bend the light twice... the sealed beam spreads the light beam for road coverage... then the stock lens bends it again... you will see great close to you but .......
