Who makes headlights that fit in a 67 without cutting up the headlight buckets or moving the battery?? I bought the united pacific headlights that they said would fit but you needed to cut the whole back of the bucket out and then they still were too deep and ran into the battery. I would like to put some of the fancy ones in if someone makes some that fit??? anyone have some that work???

I do not know what your depth needs to be, but I have started looking at the same for another project I am working on. Check out this company, www.dapperlighting.com/ I know a member that put a set in, in a 71. We were able to get them in and had battery clearance.

Look at LED's, they aren't near as deep as the projectors.

The Dappers are only 7"...'66-67 are 5.25" light.

I have the Dapper brand for my 66 & they are definitely not as thick as the original but the same diameter. Nice product actually.

 Really ? I didn't find them on their website... OK, I did manage to work my way thru their menus to find them but wow, in LED configuration, with halo, they get upwards of $600. I stick with my halogen sealed beams.

I don't see a "stock look" light for the smaller ones.

I only need the outer 2 bulbs but I do want better lighting than what I have.

 Are you running power direct to the lights, thru relays now ? Mine are much brighter by eliminating the light switch with the relay's.
