27 headlights

Unknown

Upon inspection I find that my headlights have been converted to sealed

beams by cutting out the light socket and adding a homemade bracket to

secure the sealed beam within what seems to be the 27 bullet housing.

Practical perhaps but not entirely appealing to those of us who have

chosen to deal with these old things to begin with. The spec sheet for

this vehicle indicates a 9" Spreadlight lens. When I measure between

the lens clips I find that I have 7 3/4" with 6 7/8" of lens exposed

from the front. Any ideas as to what these headlights are? They have a

countersunk screw at the rear that appears to have secured the light

socket or reflector. The trim ring is held on with a tab at top and a

screw through the ring at the bottom. Even if there were notches at the

clips a 9" would not fit in these. Any info appreciated.
