Am I the only person who would have their Singer with original headlights?

No. I’d take the originals myself. Not everything needs projection lamps to look cool

That will be another $32,000 ;)

To your point, I don’t think I’ve see one with anything except the bi-xenons. But I personally don’t mind them.

Would you stick with the donor 964 halogens, or some retro candles from 1972?

No they don’t need projection lamps to look cool but need projection lamps to see better

lol. It’s not that they look hideous, I’d just prefer a more traditional look. Also a bit more low key in traffic (if a Singer could be low key).

That is a great question. I think I’d go with chromed 964 bezels.

This is a good point too.

To be honest when I was putting my Camaro back together I looked for old style headlights for it but had to settle for halogens. So that would be one vote for original style from me.

Function over form. Older headlights are awful, and I wouldn’t go that route just to have it look traditional. My 7 inch LED housings look pretty... Uh... Divisive, but they are fantastic for driving. Would never go back after seeing the light

Instead of sealed beams, how about some proper Euro-spec H4s with, say, 130W bulbs. That should give the proper look with some real light output.

No, I dislike them too. It looks like the car is wearing extremely thick eyeglasses.
