Default Re: T-3 Headlights - Whats correct ???

Does anybody make a correct reproduction T-3 for a 69 Camaro? All the ones I've seen so far are apparently close but the markings inside the triangle are incorrect. I don't have access to swap meets or wrecker yards over here and I want something close as a backup in case I lose a light.

Tommy, I have not seen it in print, but I was told the date codes are on the front/top of the headlight. Can anyone verify?
It appears to remain consistant with the headlight usage data posted by RatPack.
Thanks to all for your help.

DH

Can anyone provide direction to determine the date code and what is correct for a 69 camaro. I have dates on the front of my T-3's that are supposively original. They are J117 and J62. Thanks for the advise..........

Dennis, according to the chart posted by Rat Pack, my T-3's are 68-71 model. I don't know how to decipher the dates but if it is the letter/number on top, mine are K 10 5. I see these from time to time in my area in salvage yards, let me know if you can't find any and I'll see if I can locate some. Tommy
