1958 Low Beam Headlight Compatibility
1958 Low Beam Headlight Compatibility
I have attached pictures of a Tung-Sol headlight I have found on eBay. I’m trying to find out if this exact model bulb will work on my 1958 low beam. Thank You.

Re: 1958 Low Beam Headlight Compatibility
Can you ask the seller what the outside diameter of the bulb is or compare the size of the bulb with a known 5-3/4" diameter dual-bulb unit or the larger 7-inch diameter single bulb? The headlights for a '58-'76 T-bird would be the smaller 5-3/4" diameter version; '55-'57 and '77-'79s used the larger 7" one.

These are the bug eyed bulbs and might fit the 58-60 but will not look right.
