1972 GMC Headlights

sorry to ask this. Driving home last week driver side low bream was out. Two cops 10 feet away in two places left me alone. 2:00 am on back roads, dont they do their jobs I was thankful

So ordered the part from what was Avenue and now is Napa. Out of the box today my original was carillo and had a seperate bulb with a Rubber boot. Replkacement bulb cannot come out and I cant use the two rings that fasten onto the headlight to put the rubber boot over. I asked what choices I had and think twice.

I try not to buy china stuff for my shop. Good quality US and and european machines. Many of them older heavy duty and high quality. I have 40 plus years on a used Rockwell 3 x 21 belt sander and it goes strong still. Same with all the US senco made staple guns, quality last forever.

I bought the high beam as well as its been cracked forever but always worked fine

My friend Grasshopper said I should not have bought Halogen as I likely dont have a relay. I said all four are Halloben and I have 18 years driving on them.

Relay I will approach another day. I can see the bulb filament is broken., some subdivision roads near my parents home are pothole brutal. Im in a truck that has more rattles than I could count. its terrible there. Will approach the shake rattles and rolls when I can

So in the meantime do I just use this china stuff then find another supplier and get a seperate bulb set up so I can use the rubber boot., Then for the cracked high beam replace that with a new glass only part and new bulb same time

thanks appreciate your help and last starter motor help the thing works better than ever and it always worked great
