Huge Disappointment
Well, I have been sitting on these non DOT T3's for over 15 years. This morning I disassembled the bumper they were installed in & ohm tested the filaments.
All seemed good. supplied 12V's to them & while they did work it would appear the gas has leaked out. The filaments stated to smoke & put a light cloud of white inside the "sealed" beams. I'm sad.......

I have had that happen to a couple of them in my collection. That is why when and if at all possible, all headlamps are tested prior to purchasing.

Ya, I won't buy them at a swap anymore with out the guy testing them.
But, I have all guides in my T/A now. All I need now is a nice or nOS trunk mat.

But, I have never tried washing any of mine either, so maybe they clean up?

Haha! You could buy a conversion kit. But that's probably another grand or so.....

Must not have been too popular of an option though, or maybe unknown until it became standard? My 79 does not have them but its an early 4 speed car.

I was looking at Canamman's photos of NOS rectangular power beam bulbs and halogen bulbs. Is there a way to tell the halogens from the regular bulbs by just looking at them? I couldn't see a difference in the photos.

Don't the halogens have a raised H (by GUIDE) in the top of the bulb face?

I looked at Canamman's ebay listing for his halogens and he says they have Guide 1AH on them, so that must be the clue.
