Need a couple of gas headlight reflectors as used in 1914 headlights. Used is okay if will polish up. PO of my car (1914 Touring) installed sealed beam bulbs, but the retaining method doesn't allow focusing the bulbs. I want to eliminate the sealed beam bulbs and install the halogen adapter (or LED bulb, if available) for a cleaner look. The electrical system is 12V (don't go hating on me). Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
Jerry

Re: WTB-Headlight reflectors
If you are putting in LED lights, why not put in the polished reflectors that the suppliers sell?
At the same time, put new burner bases.

The originals were glass with mirror plating.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!
