Please view the post in the Forum Support forum, it has a poll about making a dark mode (i.e. dark color screens instead of bright white) available. This can be of interest for those that access the forums from a mobile device as dark screens use less battery power. But we need to know whether enough people want this before investing the time to install an extra mode.

Can anyone provide a source for T-3 headlights for 55, 57 and 61 Cadillacs ( I believe the T-3 triangle insignias are different for each of these years ) ? ..........Paul Tesone CLC # 6876

Look at Lectric Limited.com. They are perfect reproductions, and they are bright enough to drive with. Thet do differentiate by year as the markings did change.

Only problem with the guide above, Cadillac and Olds were 12v in '53 and '54.

Please note (as shown in the above diagram) that the 1955
models were not designated as "T-3" headlamps.  Note the
"12-V" symbol on the glass.  These are not being reproduced.
This is a one year only sealed beam.

Hi Mike - you are absolutely correct . I actually forgot that fact when I included 1955 caddies in my question . And those one year only headlights are VERY  expensive - if you can even find one for sale . Thanks for contributing . ....Paul Tesone CLC #6876
