Back in the late 80's early 90's the big headlight thing went nuts. I bought a set of these at the Pettit Jean swap meet. They are huge! 1932 Studebaker Commander headlights.

Some other big and interesting headlights are those used mon some 33/34 Chryslers. Also hard to find. I'd like to have a pair. It's hard to see in the photo but the lenses are "V" shaped, not flat.

 
The bigger, the better. [cl I had these a few years ago, never did find out what they came on. They were about 11" dia. CM (CH?) Hall Michigan depress beam headlamp was stamped on them - very flat lens with a unique glass pattern, sort like 32 Ford but seemed better quality. They were chrome plated brass - found them in a buddys garage, he was using one for a dog dish - I bashed out the dents, soldered a couple cracks and buffed them up and adapted modern halogen bulbs.
