2. 5 scale headlight source?

Have a friend who is looking for a 2.5 scale headlight that is decent looking and perhaps even ready to install, but the thought of a kit with some assembly required might be an option. Rumor has it that Tom Artzberger offers a 2.5 scale headlight but I have not been able to locate a website for his products. Can anyone shed some light on the situation?

I have an Artzberger headlight on my shay with another planned for a backup light. I custom ordered mine from him without number boards

I went to hobby lobby and bought a candle lantern for my 2.5" scale 4-4-0, put a bulb and battery holder in it and good to go..

I bought a TPF from TYC for a Nissan Almera classic. I ordered the left one as I got tired of the ever-fogging fog lamp. There was an experience. I took TPF of the company SAT. It sucks, the body is flimsy, the pins fall out, the glass leaves. The right one after the bulkhead is still the norm, and the left one refuses to be glued at all, and there is no light. I took only one sample. When I got shocked, I expected nothing good would happen. Still, the latches are all in place. The sealant is evenly distributed around the entire perimeter. The glass fits evenly, and the body does not squeeze under the fingers, everything is smooth. Connected, typically, a narrow light strip. So far I like everything!

Must be a Russian spy. Secret codes most of us shouldn't know, or don't want to know.
