6 volt headlight globe
I see that on the USA eBay site people are selling 1 globe for $14 plus - just wanted to make you guys aware that a chap who owns a secondhand store here in Hampton Australia has a crate of them and is selling a pack of 10 for $14.99 aus - I've bought a few cartons for my 1936 Hudson to last my lifetime - as they aren't made anymore you might think of buying a carton rather than buying just an only - plus the carton is original 1930's - it's on the aus eBay site cheers Ken

By "globe", do you mean "lamp" or "bulb"? If so, are you aware that a fellow in Australia is making the much-brighter quartz-halogen headlight bulbs in six volts for pre-1940 cars, with the "prefocus" base (3-hole) which should fit your car's socket? I've used them before in my 1937. As for the older type bulbs, one can occasionally find an original 50-50 candlepower one for sale, but otherwise your "original" lamps tend to be the anemic 32 candlepower models, which don't give that much light.

Thanks Jon, yeah was aware of chap in south Australia offering a great product. My Hudson is a daylight car only - so I'm more interested keeping it old style. :-) But thanks for the concern cheers Ken0
