    I bought some big old bullet looking headlights on ebay and can figure out everything except how to get some new headlight bulbs in them. I don't have trim rings or sockets or anything. Is there a kit or conversion out there somewhere to help me light up?

    I've found the inner bucket on 50s chevy cars and trucks work well.The buckets have everything in them you need ,weld the bucket into your head light ,throw on the bezels and all is good.

    How to convert 'em?

    Sprinkle 'em with distilled water and say, 'The power of the HAMB compels you! The power of the HAMB compels you!'.

    I'm not helping......

    Xderelict - that is an excellent diagram and idea. I've got a pair of '29 pickups and 4 total headlights, and was wondering the best way to convert them. I'll definitely have to try this.

    Thanks for posting it!
