Well Vance figuring I made a set for the coupe as i had the braided line and i just had to make the aluminum ends they were cheap.. I just dont have time to do a lot at work anymore so thats why i ordered these. I think they are over priced but what isnt..
Dave :wink:

Vance, look close at the head light mount on the T-bucket pictured here.  These mounts had a hole drilled through the length of the brakets and the light wires were routed through the frame, and brakets to the head lights.  It made for a very clean and inexpensive head light mount.
Sorry...But I cannot remember where I purchased them (?).  I am sure there is more than one supplier out there......

Just me but exactly how do you run hi/lo beams and turn signals and markers with 4 wires?
I guess if you ground everything through headlight assembly and the bracket to the frame.
I'll have to look closer at my 34 commercial lights  they have 7 wires out the bottom

Way to go, Bugpac.....Those are the ones I used on my T-bucket.   They make a very clean installation with no cables or wires hanging out in the breaze...   Thanks buddy, I knew they were still around and they work great and look good too.  Thanks for posting that picture.

There you go.. ground em thru the buckets and mounts. I may try and add one more wire for a ground if it will fit.

Ya Jeff.. what I did was pull one wire then added 2 smaller wires for the parking lights and turn signals.. Worked great.. I used #18 wire for that. It was a little tough getting it all thru the loom but i just took my time and it finally made it.. I had to shorten em a bunch but it all worked and looks sweet.. Ill have to get a pic for you. I had to make a spacer for the model a headlight bucket as the looms have a 1/2 inch thread on em and the bucket has an .812 hole in it. I just made 2 spacers .800 diamater from aluminum with 1/2 inch holes in em and that took the movement or possible movement outta the conector. I did saw off the end on the bucket where the stock a loom hooks on. Also using the stock position i had to turn the halogen kit so the turn signal is on the top instead of the bottom.. Other than that were good to go..
