I came across what I believe to be 60s headlights that were attached to the hood of a 1960 Suburban. The seller would not sell me the headlights separately so I bought the Suburban. The only identification on them is stencilled on the back. One headlight reads "PMCo 401" and the other reads "PMCo 402".
Can anyone shed some light on my purchase?
Thanks,
Dave

Thanks Wild Bill,
My lenses are not flat, they are curved, so it looks like I have bug eyes for my 604. Cool!
I still need to find the U tube to mount them.
Hey Mike,
Looking at the pictures you emailed me of your very nice looking 654 is what got me moving on this.
Thanks alot to both of you,
Dave

hey dave,

glad to help a fellow horseman!!!

by the way my U bracket and light switch bracket is a copy of the original, they can reproduced pretty easy with a original to go by, (maybe someone can post the dimentions I dont have a loose one) my switch came from napa ,,my headlights where bolted directly in the side of the hood from the wheel horse they came from, so I was missing some parts also.

Check out this thread. If yours were mounted to the hood of a '60 they might be the HL-22 and not the HL-5. whtractor/dunno.gif
