How come what with all of the internet and modern instant communication facilities, no one seems to know of the conversion kits available that enable you to install 7 inch standard seal beam headlamp bulbs, either 6 or 12 volt, inside a model A headlight bucket, with NO modification to the bucket and it keeps the original lens glass?
All the changeover requires is a reasonable skill with a screwdriver.
Modern cars still use these bulbs so it is very unlikely a model A is going to overdrive them.
One big advantage of all this is they are FAR cheaper than 2 modern halogen or LED bulbs.
