  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

1972 T-3 headlights

    Unfortunately Reliable can't get down the street where I store my cars. When they delivered last night at 9:00 pm my initial thought was to drive my 72 Stage1 to the warehouse with the headlights off however the State Police were out in force and I had to turn my low beams on for about a mile. Of course they burned out as soon as I turned off the main road. So I need a set of 1972 T-3 Low beams if anyone has some.

    Thanks. And Happy Thanksgiving.

    I've been keeping an eye out for them whenever I see headlight bulbs. Don't need them per se but know they're difficult to get.

    Are the ‘72 style T-3s more fragile? (I do know they’re one year only, thus obviously harder to find.) I spoke to a ‘72 GTO owner at MCACN and he had a set and was worried about blowing them (and I think had that happen to him before). I’ve run original ‘68-‘71 T-3s in both my driver ‘68s and only lost a couple in a decade or more.

    Are these the same for a ‘72? 9D5159AE-95A9-4DBB-A12A-7B0570F76057.png

    Unfortunately those are not correct for a 72. In 72 the T-3 triangle is at the bottom center of the bulb.
