I have a couple sets of headlights already but like to monitor the various styles available...could these increase my car value by a few thousand?

Must light up the road really good for that price!
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

He must have added too many zeros (4,300.00 ?) I suspect the price is closer to $430.

Did a google search of "Electroline 2200 headlights" and realized that the ebay auction is for real.

People looking to build PERIOD CORRECT hot rods seek these out so they are not "just another deuce" with oversized commercial headlights out front.

I have seen similar types and brand sell on ebay for "out there prices".  You can put WOODLITES and the ones that look like 3/4 of a football with the end cut off, whatever they are called, on the same 'goofy stuff' list .

There was a black 32 ford phaeton , hiboy ?? at the GNRS in 2014 that was loaded with STUFF, including 16" ?????  black steelie wheels , pines winter front and other kitschy stuff, like the radiator ornament .

Here is picture...........16" steel wheels, electroline head lights, think has special hood with more louvers than stock ?

Add says, ready to install.
If I was paying that much, I'd want the things to install themselves.  ;)

A couple of buddies are putting a 29 Ford pickup together and just bolted up a set of "9 inch" commercial Model A lights to the vehicle...in person I like the size. ;)

I like my car just fine with the $100.00 Speedway lights. My whole build didn't cost much more than those lights!!!
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Ihave a couple of pair of model a lights and can buy new interior lenses and hollogen bulbs for around 85.00 off ebay. Those hedlights are way out of line.
