Thanks for your time and posts Ozstatman - much apprec. I guess there are sets of those '39 lights out there, but I haven't had any luck finding any. This has been quite the education for me, as I THOUGHT the '40 lights would be 'just fine'. After all the back and forth here, I am rethinking my thoughts and really agree with those that feel they would be 'just wrong'! Problem is, I hate what's on there now, and yet finding a set of actual '39's is going to be difficult and, as you say, expensive. I do believe that adding 'generic' lights was done back in the day, I'm just conflicted a to whether this would 'hurt' my car in the long run. Like, for instance, the heater it came with is from a 41/42 (I think) and it is 'good enough' as far as I'm concerned, so I guess a lot of it boils down to one's taste and how strict one is, or wants to be, with 'absolute authenticity'. I don't want to be a murderer, but I guess I'm just not a dyed-in-the-wool purist either.
