Anyone have a pair of hi beam GE headlights with the round GE emblem in the center? I could use a pair of them asap. These are for my 1960 Dodge. If they are not 101% correct for a 60 Dodge I dont know but they need to match the low beams which are present and working. They have a circular GE emblem in the center of the headlight about 1/2 inch diameter.

My gold New Yorker has both low beam GE lights, but the high beams are plain.
The low beam lights are PN 1753 436 and are two filament, i.e. low stays on when you hit the high beam switch which brings on the second (high beam) filament as well as putting power
to the separate single filament high beam 1753 435 light. The 1753 436 would have three connector tangs on the back
Perhaps the low beams were the only one with this GE symbol in the middle. (???)

In response to this statement above: " Perhaps the low beams were the only one with this GE symbol in the middle. (???) "
ALL factory installed / assembly line parts WOULD have logo. In addition they should be matched, meaning if headlamps are GE than all would be GE.
[of course there are always exceptions where mixed or incorrect parts were installed by the factory. An example specifically on headlights is that its well documented that some Superbirds use both GE and Westinghouse, but lets not get distracted on that subject]
I have numerous original GE headlamps both the Low & High beam and also Wide and Narrow flute style that ALL have the GE logo.
Since the original post asked about 1960 Dodge, attached is a picture of the original GE headlamps installed in one of my 1960 Dodge station wagons.
Note that both the Low and High beam have the GE center circle logo.
