I've refinished the headlight cups for my 69 and have the hi beam cups marked separately. My bad, but I neglected to take note of whether the hi beams are the outboard bulbs or inboard? Thanks.

I think im reading this correct but you want to know where they sit on the car??

High beams are inboard, lows are outboard.

Excuse me if im reading it wrong.

If I remember correctly, there is indexs molded into the glass part of the bulb and it will allow you only one way to put them in.  This makes it so you can only put the high beams and low beams in a specific location.  High beams go on the inside towards the center of the grille and low beams go towards the fenders.

Most "buckets" I have messed with are stamped Hi and Lo or something to that effect.

I was hoping this topic was "different" type high beams.  :eyes:

This is the info I needed to reassemble the grille sub-frame light buckets correctly. I knew the bulbs registered only one way but couldn't remember which was inboard/outboard. Thanks guys. Neal, I was tempted to include a pix of some fine norcal "artesians" but didn't want to get a PM from Troy about it/them. hahaha.
resq302 I hope you're feeling better and the shift was relatively quiet.

Happy New Year to everyone..............it will get better.

Tom,

Thanks for the warm wishes.  I am feeling better from the flu but now my right side jaw is swollen pretty well from an infected lymph node.  When will this year end?   :brickwall:
