| Those lights are much coveted by vintage motorcycle collectors. They sold new for about twenty bucks and now bring over $600 in mint condition. A NIB one recently sold for $1200. The bracket you see on the blue beetle will cost another $100 or so. As lights, they are not very good and the mirror is too small, but they do look sharp. |

What is that blue jar thing under the hood? A accessory windshield washer bottle or something? |

Rather than the spotlights up near the windscreen I'm looking more for the additional... headlights? just above the bumper bar. I've seen some with one big one, some with 2 likes the ones in the thread above - do they have a specific name that makes it easier to look them up, are they powerful, are they worth it? :  Thanks! |

Here's my '54 with an accessory badge bar with Bosch fog & driving lights mounted:
As to "Are they worth it?"
Well, you can go the regular route and pay about less than $100/pr for some modern lights. This is what 95% of enthusiast will choose.
The setup shown on my car cost me just over $700 (several years ago), but I wanted era-correct for my car
