Would anyone know what I am talking about? I was looking at the conversion kit from chevy of the 40s but I don't want to spend $131 for something that I can get for way less. Thanks for the help, Bread . | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |

I understand that when it is done, the adjustment within the housing is lost.
I remember the post you are asking about. They glued a modern socket from a car into the headlight reflector. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 269 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 269 | It took a while but I finally found the thread.
