Is this correct for a 68?
I bought a 68 lemans post car and I found this on front, the wiring harness matches it also.

Some 68's had those two-light housings and some don't. I'm not sure when the cut-off was but my early 68 has the single parking/turn light.

Never seen that double socket housing before. Otherwise, it surely looks like a '68 piece to me. My car was built 3rd week of May and does not have them.

My car is also an early 68 with single bulbs. Pretty cool picture, I never knew those dual bulbs even existed. Learned something today!

Single socket here too. I've never seen a dual socket version.

I believe it could be a 68 B-body housing.

68 Firebirds had them early on, but switched to a one bulb housing.

I have several sets of the two bulb housings. They are very early 68 A-body. Look at the 68 wiring diagrams in the service manual, it shows the brown wire that goes to them. I believe the reproduction looms also have the wires, (plus the wiring for cornering lamps). It's just an amber bulb that goes in there.
