    Looking to change out the inboard headlights on my 63 fairlane to yellow/amber headlights.
    Have done an extensive inter web search.......no luck.
    Any clue where I can get my hands on a set of 3 prong, 5 3/4" headlights?
    Not to worried about the legalities of it since my low beams will stay white and the car is registered "antique".
    Thanks.....Al

    There are sprays and tints available for headlights in Yellow. Do a google search for yellow headlight tint.

    When I did that to my Newport, I just went to my buddy at carquest and told him what I wanted and it was available in a Sylvania I believe. Shouldn't be too hard to find?

    I've even heard guys wrapping bulbs in colored Reynold's Wrap and that it held up surprisingly well.

    The windows in my chevy II were spayed with that anodizing paint for painting over chrome.

    On the Raybestos GTO-R, I really wanted to get a set of yellow lights for the inboard pair of headlights. We ended up having to get them from a place in Denmark, IIRC.

    They used to be listed in parts catalogues as 4001A the "A" of course for Amber.
     
  20. Just ordered a pair for the wife's Stude wagon. GE or Eiko both are part number 4412A. Only (35 watts) but will look good. And yes 5 3/4" Par-46 bulbs.
