I thought I'd add some pics of the lights we are fitting to our 29 Tudor.
As I've said, we feel a bit vulnerable without "modern lights", so had made these up.
Most of our driving will be in suburbia, or between my place and my parents, which is a winding country road, and some 50mph "open" road.
Anyway, we took off the original light and bracket, and stored them away. We fitted a pair of replica brackets and amber top lamps, along with a pair of 32 ford tail lights. The same thing is on the left (passenger!
) side, but without the license plate mount (duh!).
The "A" lights will be turn signal indicators (amber) and tails (red). The 32 ford stop and tails will be set up as brake only (red). We have cut and folded a small plate which is sandwiched between the light and the bracket, which extends across to the other light. We'll use a wiring cover off the rear of an "A" pickup tail light to cover the rear of the '32 light and hide the bulb holders and wiring exiting the rear.
It's not a stunning job, but I think it looks tidy and fits the rear of the car quite well.
We've also fitted one of those 6v high mount LED brake lights in the rear window, with little suction cups. It's hardly noticeable... until it lights up!
I haven't got any pics of the fronts, but again, we have raided the 30's ford Parts bin for small cowl lamps (3.5"?), and mounted them on a curved bracket that fits into the forward-most hole on top of the chassis (screws the front and side panels onto the chassis?). They are directly below the headlamps, but further forward.
I apologize for the poor quality, but these photos were taken in the shed, on my work phone:

Cheers,
