Has anyone seen the accessory headlights called "wood lites" ? They were introduced in 1929 but apparently the company went out of business shortly after they were introduced. I was reading about them but love to see what they look like.:confused:
 
They were generally used on big cars of the era, 1929/30 Cord L29s come to mind. A very narrow vertical beam as I remember. Pete is right, not particularly appealing.
 
I had a chance to buy a pair of them at an antique shop in S.D. about 20 years ago. Had I known more about them I probably would have bought them, but they were pretty ugly.
 
They were standard equipment on an obscure auto called the Ruxton, a high dollar car that also had a short run. They are classy looking art-deco lights, but quite worthless if you actually needed to see where you were going. They would look WAY out of place on an "A".
