Blue dot headlight reflectors
 

I bought a set of headlight reflectors for my 28 roadster. I was told 7 inch would fit. I should have measured mine before ordering. I am now told 9 inch are correct. Any one know where I can get a set of these that fit and how to correctly install them. I saw these at a model A meet and liked how the looked.

Check with your DMV to see if they are legal in your state.

Evidently they are as several model A people are using them. Our police are more concerned about newer vehicles vs older cars. Most of the time if an older car is pulled over it is because they want to look at it and take pictures. I know this for sure especially when they see my 28 roadster.

I think many years ago they would draw attention from the police but nowadays I don't think they would care.

Why use blue dot headlight reflectors? Never heard of them before.
What's the purpose? Just for looks? Or?

I was wondering how the reflectors would have blue dots in them.Those are visors,not reflectors.The reflectors are the bowl shaped things that hold the headlight bulbs.

Those were the ones I bought but from another company. They are 7 inch and I need 9 inch. They help you with knowing if you left your headlights on or not according to other model a people.

Actually they call them by both names, depending on who you are talking to, or when looking them up. The name confused me at first also.

I'm still confused. (It doesn't take much)

left your lights on.
