They were "dealer options" back in the day. I think they look cool - great find!!

If not, take them off. No harm done. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | Common or not those are period correct and would look good on your '37. Check the link s in my sig to see how they'll look. Are they sealed beam?

The funny thing is that they were in a shed that collapsed due to snow load on the roof and I would have never found them unless the thing caved in!! I think its meant to be and they will be going on the truck!! I am surprised they weren't smashed when the roof fell in!!
Thanks for the help!!

They have a GE 1133 bulb in them.
Charlie | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | The candle power is about the same for the 1323 and the 1133 but the 1323 has the prefocus base. Should be plenty bright if the reflector is good.
