I have 2 General Electric high beam headlights. Date coded 2-9. Did A12 cars have GE or Westinghouse head lights? WINGNUT

Until my most recent B-body, all of my '67-'70 Bs had General Electric-embossed, wide-fluted, headlamps.
Every one factory-installed. That's 20-some cars since the '80s, various assy plants.
Most recent one, a '69 RR St Louis car, 17,000 miles, has TS low-beams & the "correct" GE high beams.
I assume the low beams are original - car was hardly ever used, and likely rarely with lights on - but allegedly TS & Westinghouse have been seen on a few original cars.

I believe them to be 4001 and 4002 GE wide flutes.

So the 2 head lights I have, (date coded 2-9) could have come from an A12 car? WINGNUT

Sure - or a Slant 6 4-door, or pretty much anything with 4 headlamps.
Stuff like headlamps were probably in large supply, so date codes won't necessarily prove anything, unless dated after the car left the plant, right ?

I asked a SPECIFIC question. Do A12 cars come with GE or Westinghouse headlights. I KNOW every car with 4 head lights can come with either. If someone is restoring an A12 car, I want to
offer my DATE CODED head lights to them.WINGNUT

I'm no expert........but as an A12 owner, when I was looking, I would have been very interested in those headlights. As long as they are the wide flute 4001

Yes they are the wide flute. Above the 2-9 date code it reads SAE 69. WINGNUT

I would think 2-9 is a little early for an A12 ??

is that for a lot of money?

That is why I am asking. How can I learn if I don't ask? I have now heard from 2 A12 owners that have original high beams date coded 3-9 WINGNUT

Pete,

They would be fine for an early build A-12.

But once they are in the car , you cant read the date code anyway correct???

Correct, BUT some people are going for OE certification or are just plain anal. WINGNUT

Is the date code ink stamped on the back ?

Readable With the bulb in the car???

But they don't pull the bulb to ck date codes, do they????

I corrected my post -

If you have picture documentation of date codes and part numbers and you are being OE Certified, it goes a long way to help the car score as good as it can.
