As my imagination wonders with my upcoming thing restortation, I am intrigued by the old skool headlights mounted on the fenders of the original kubelwagen of ww2. I saw one such thread of a modified thing which mounted these type of headlights to the front fenders. I found a pair of original kubel headlights and they were asking $600! What are some other options of headlights to get the same look? Many of the dung buggies I see have similiar headlights, what brand/style headlights do they typically use that may provide the look I'm trying to explain?

thanks

This type of light is available from most streetrod shops. Try speedway motors. www.speedwaymotors.com

Ask the Thing Shop, on a DVD they sent me with an order they said they had the lights you're looking for.

I called today and the thing shop doesn't have any headlights which could be mounted to the front fenders. I'd like to find out what brand /size headlight so many of the dune buggies use cause they may work nicely.
