That's my old baby!!! Only I added 2-aircraft landing lights in the center grill section where some had fog lights......200,000 candle-power each. They were illegal in the state I lived in, but as you were "over-driving" legal headlights at 55mph then, and I drove Indiana back roads at 65 at night a lot, I had to have them. We also knew Indiana State Police had them on some of their cars. If someone would not dim their brights after 3 quick flashes of my stock hi-beams, I'd hit them with a 1/2 second burst of my landing lights - always worked. Only one night the car I had hit with my landing lights - was a State Police car. He surprised me not doing a U-turn to come after me. I figure the reason was he had similar aircraft lights on his car.......  photo 68 Bullitt A_zpsbrszeaa6.jpg  photo 68 Bullitt C_zps4dz7f3jd.jpg

I had a company car, a Buick Century, in 1974. When I was working in the high desert of Arizona, I needed to be able to spot cattle on the open range when I was coming home late at night from work. On the Arizona back roads, I was often doing 75 mph at night. I installed KC Hilites with Aircraft Landing Lights on my bumper. I could spot those black cows a mile away on a moonless night! Never did hit a single cow.
