T3 or Power Beams 7" Headlights on Late 69 Car
Just wondering what headlamps came out on a very late 10E car built Nov of 69. Would they still be T3 bulbs or would those have been built using Power Beam bulbs like the 70 cars?
Curious if T3's were still in use late in the model year and what other late cars are known to have had? Thanks in advance.

For what this may be worth to anyone. I believe I have an original assembly line head light on my 1970 Nova. It’s a Power Beam with a GM logo. In 1974 one of the lamps blew out and I got a replacement unit from my local GM parts store.
The replacement was not an exact match, and that always bothered me to the point that I always look over head lights at car shows, hoping to perhaps find another match. And, then I did see a match show up one day at a local car show in the 80’s, unexpectantly on a 1969 Camaro ! The owner wasn’t around, but everything looked unaltered and “right” to me, so now I take that to mean some late Camaros did get Power Beams. Attached are the pictures of my head light that exactly matched the Camaro head light (remember, I was keying in on the details at the time I saw it). Notice the 2 at the top and the GM circle logo at the bottom of the bulb. I have found many Power Beams with a GUIDE logo, but in my experience the 7 inch head light with the GM logo are just rare. Anyone else seen a match to this ? Good luck ! |

Do T3 headlights have a date code?
How about Power Beams?

Ink stamped on the backside at the top. Ink washes off with water, so take care when cleaning.

My 1974 z/28 still has it original power beam headlights. Never been off the car.
I have a 2 at the top and no GM logo. I would have to take a better look at them as I never payed that close of attention to them.

Interesting I have a NOS Powerbeam and never noticed the GM logo... I will definitely check it out tomorrow.

The 3 Powerbeam headlights I have all have “Guide” on the bottom.
