The t3 is what was original. I have one original high beam on the GMC clip (four headlight set up). My old 68 cougar I had in 90 had all 4 original headlamps. They are being made in reproduction now.

That wouldn't work, the filiments are the same as any other light.
Besides, this brand was used in everything back then. Quote:

From my experience, T-3s were used until about 1970. Then they went to "Power Beam". I bought a 1 owner, low miles 72 and it had both power beam bulbs in it.

Interesting...I never heard of the Power Beams.
Anyone remember the amber highbeams on the 4 head light set ups? Can they be found anywhere? |
