1971 Firebird headlights
 

What were the factory headlight bulbs used on the 1971 Firebirds built at the Van Nuys plant in Ca?

Hi im.ignacio not an expert but buy what I need and little extra. I bought a front end bumper with grills head lights and chrome rings for my 1970 formula as an extra or to hang in garage. I think it looks cool it is I believe 71 unit been in garage for 30 plus years and headlights are power bean. I was told they stock. I'll probably just store them done want them to break. I noticed it doesn't have an emblem on bumper so I'm thinking it's trans am!

Thank you. I had heard that Power Beam bulbs might have been used.

Im.not expert still learning . T bulbs where also seen I believe but have yet to see one. It's my hobby and enjoy learning.

Power Beams

Be aware that there were Canadian spec Power Beams that were a bit different in appearance from U.S. spec.

please explain.

I have been buying up power beams when they have been available at a reasonable price...

The 70-71 bumpers came in two flavours:
1) with holes for bumper emblem; Esprit and Formula
2) without holes for bumper emblem; base and Trans Am

The 1972 bumper was exactly the same as the 1970/1971 type 2 bumper.

Base Model 6 cylinder and V-8 Firebirds had NO emblem on the nose in 1970,71 from the cars I have had.
In 72 and 3, NO Firebirds had an emblem on the Nose.
Some early Esprits had just ONE sport mirror too...
Base birds the chrome style mirror was available on pass side as an option. ( also a dealer kit was available)
