I thought I had saved the day until I saw the part you actually need. The repro outlets I frequent don't seem to have them in singles. There were a couple that had a set of four and the cheapest was about $75.

Yes that's what I keep running into. I am sure there are some possibly from other cars that will work but I can't find any info on them.

Re: 1961 headlight help

I would guess anything that had two of the smaller headlights up front. GM wasn't one for using one off parts in their vehicles back then.

Maybe one of these?

Scratch that. Looks like another wrong one. Found a pair on ebay for just under $50.

Even better... four for 40 or best offer. Two of them look a bit odd but the other two look right.
