From previous posts I understand that headlight bucket for 1935 & 36 passenger cars and some pickups are the same apart from mounting studs, so then the diameter where the glass retaining ring fits is the same.
I see that the stainless steel band that mounts the glass is quite different, and the 35 glass is a lot flatter, but is the glass diameter the same, where it fits the band?
I have a 1936 5 window coupe and am looking at fitting 7" sealed beam lights. I have seen these fitted directly to trim rings, are these factory or aftermarket?
