Looking for T3 headlamps for my 1969 Nova SS
where to buy them?
Are the repops close to originals? what are the differences?
TIA

You can buy them at Lectric Limited. The difference between originals and repops, if you look in the upper corner of the bulb the repops have a very small "DOT" running vertical. The originals do not. Others very well may have noticed other differences. I can tell you from experience, putting the originals in can be a PITA. You install one and in a week they burnout. They are also very dim. But if you are showing the car and not driving at night go for it.

I have used their headlamps on a couple of my cars and have been satisfied with them.

I might be missing something but those from lectric limited were discontinued a few years ago. Then some time later someone else was advertising them. Wagner was making them for lectric limited but again thought that was stopped.
I've taken originals and put silicone around the terminals to help keep them sealed. Don't know if it works but so far so good. Our 01B 68 still has the originals in with date stamps showing made in Nov. 67.

I've got a bunch of the old T3 headlights, and every time I test one to see if it works it burns out in a few seconds and turns the inside of the bulb white.
