356B 6 volt headlights
This is pretty minor in terms of a 'project', but I could use some advice. I've owned my '63 for quite a while, but I've never changed the headlights. It is still 6 volt and I definitely want to keep it that way. Is there any thought about the 'best' option in terms of new headlights, or should I just go to Stoddards and take what they have on offer?

Tim, the latest and greatest headlight solution is Jules' LED headlights. Many of us have installed them and are all quite pleased. You can order them direct from Vintage Trader, but I believe that Stoddard also carries them. Check out the threads on the Vendor Forum.
Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints.....

Hi Tim -- concur with Wes. My '63 is still 6V and the LED headlights are great.

+1 for Wes
I put them in years ago I can see the future. Also do the rest of the lamps, so people can see you.

Hi Tim,
Reach out if you need some. I have them in stock, also the 6v complete car upgrade so you can see and be seen. Mine are 'warm white' and look just like stock, on and off. Razor sharp low beam cutoff too, unlike most of them.
Full set for a BT6 here: https://www.vintagetraderaz.com/product ... rade-set-1
