Assuming you mean T-3? I believe 68 to 71 T-3 have a triangle still, but the "GUIDE" is on the backside of the glass so can't be felt. Also should be vertical lines in the triangle. 72 the triangle disappeared and the "T3" is near the bottom.

Here's a link to Lectric Limited... click on headlight bulbs. Below is a pic of an original on my 69.

I've got boxes of those things, but odds are I can only make multiple sets of 3!

Quite a bit for Corvette guys doing NCRS restorations. Of course, any 7 inchers would need would need to be the early style for the 56/57 cars. I've got a box of the 58/59 smaller ones used in the 4 light systems left over from my 58 Vette resto. Unfortunately, almost all are high beams.

Finally someone got it... took a while though!

But yeah, like everyone else, no doubt, I've got a crap load of high beams and a precious few low beams...
