Re: Where can I find original T3 Guide headlights?

You can find used originals by walking your local scrapyard(s) as 'Corvette' headlights were also installed on other quad beam GM cars from that era. But, in most cases, what you'll get there will have some degree of wear/pit UNLESS you get 'lucky' and stumble across another GM car with retractable headlights from the era (say Olds Toronado, Caddy Eldorado, Etc.).

Other than that, you'll see them listed on eBay with reasonable frequency and you take your chances with lamp integrity/condition... You're looking for the small (5-inch) lamps with vertical lines inside the center T3 triangle.

These were not too difficult to find on EBAY for my 1960. The high beams are especially easy.

Jim, you need to know that there are different "generations" of T3 headlights. The correct ones for your '70 will be different than many others. Like was suggested here by others, contact Jeff Salz. He'll walk you through what you need and give you good advice!
