One bulb/two bulb headlight question
My headlights say "twolite" headlamp, does that mean I need the reflectors with two holes, or can I use the one hole reflector with the one hi/lo bulb?
My idea is to use the one bulb with the Hi/Lo, and then later on install the LED bulb into the single socket, therefore not needing the reflector with the two bulbs/two holes. Does that make any sense and sound right to you? If I'm missing anything here please enlighten me, hold nothing back. It's a '31 town sedan

Re: One bulb/two bulb headlight question
"Twolight" is a descriptive name and you can install either a one bulb reflector or a two bulb reflector.
The original use was a one bulb reflector for cars with cowl parking lights and a two bulb reflector far cars with parking lights in the headlamp. |

The bulb in the center is for a hi/low beam the other bulb should you decide to use it is for parking lamp.

Re: One bulb/two bulb headlight question
All i can think about when reading the title is Dr. Seuss "One fish Two fish red fish blue fish"...One bulb two bulb red bulb blue bulb
I hope you ordered the correct shape and socket alignment reflectors form brattons - the $90 ones... (fyi the center socket is NOT actually in the center of the reflector as per blueprints - its slightly off)
