<VV> LM question Headlight buckets

[Jim Allen Sr]

                   All four are different on late models also. They are 
marked on a tab, R1, R2, L1, L2.

The inner (high beam) and outer (low beam) buckets are different on late
models. On earlies, all 4 are different!

See:

Clark's calls them "cups".

Look at all four and see that there are two pairs, then try the bulbs.
The two terminal headlamps (high beam) will fit the inner cups, and the
three terminal headlamps will fit the outer cups.
