Headlight I D question

[customline]

I see these headlights frequently on 1:1 rods and I wonder if anyone can identify them. Are they factory items or aftermarket? Have they ever been kitted? Thanks for your interest. ?

They are Guide (brand?) headlights.

The last issue of the Revell (formerly Monogram tool) 30 Phaeton street rod kit had a pair. But that issue is getting scarce, wish they would reissue it.

Replicas and Miniatures of Md also offers something similar

Guide headlights were original equipment on things like trucks and agricultural equipment.  They were also sold aftermarket as individual lamps or kits to add or convert older vehicles to sealed beam lights.  Reproductions are available in the hot rod world.

Yup. And the ones pictured take standard 7" round sealed beam bulbs, or replacement 7" round halogen, LED, or HID units.

Thank you, Gents, I suspected it was the case of the 1:1 units. The kit situation is , of course, bleak. The RMCM route looks like the way. Thanks all!
