I have a complete set of T-3s or whatever they are called on the front of my 68 and they still work. Anyone want them? They dont matter much to me but if someone wants them I could be persuaded to give them up and put some new ones in.

For those going original... the T3 headlight are what was used as original equipment. Note the triangle with the T3 cast into the headlight.

Now that they are made in reproduction, they aren't worth much...but 10 years ago, a restorer would have given an eye tooth for a full set of working T3s.
