Hi Guys
I am getting ready to wire up my headlights and cannot find a source for the 3 wire connectors that fit into the headlight buckets. Can anyone help?
Thanks

I assume you are looking for the original bulb socket. I ordered some from a place I think was called Antique Auto Supply and they shipped what turned out to be only the insides with the contacts. I&I reproductions I think have them listed. The other avenue is to buy new reflectors from Chevs of the 40s with the sockets in them. They also sell them set up for H4 halogens. The trick here with the Chevs of the 40s product is to make sure the product fits your truck. The reflectors were different for 37 , 38 and 39.

Hi All
The ones I am looking for are the round metal 2 piece units where the wires enter the headlight bucket. Measures .80 in diameter.

Are you still using the prefocus base bulbs? If so YNZ used to carry the sockets but I don't see them in their on line catalog now but it may be worth calling them. It seems Ron Francis has them.

It's been a while, but I had fitted typical sealed hi/lo beam bulbs into my housings... I had a "stock" aftermarket 12v wiring harness.


Another quality post.
