Headlights, like many other items were purchased by contract low bid. Supply
and demand governed what brands you might find on a particular make. GE with
the center logo would be correct at least through 1959. I would not doubt if
Autolite, TungSol, and Westinghouse appeared on cars built in some plants.
T3's being a GM product are not likely, but anything is possible. T3's are
reproduced, although expensive. The center logo GE's are getting harder to
find. Haven't seen any NOS Autolites in a long time. Horns were supplied by
Autolite and Sparton. I have 57 Fury wheel covers that were made by at least
two different suppliers etc. Gets really interesting doesn't it? Dick

T3 headlights came out in 1956. I had them on my 56 Oldsmobile. They are a
Delco (GM) product. I doubt they were ever OEM on a Mopar.
My 56 Dodge still has the original AutoLite headlights. They work great
and are still very bright. Much better than T3s. Too bad they are no
longer made.

the plymouth doesn't have a horn relay... they are fed a constant hot via

directly through the column- if the horns do not work, it is either the
contact plate the horn ring sets on, the roller assy that contacts the
steering wheel on p/s cars, or the horns themselves... and of course,
lack of voltage.
T3's...... i dont think they made them yet- that smuscle era/61 up
stuff.... i think they're typically GE's.... the 17k-32k mile survivors
over the years had GE or westinghouse - not the ge script in the center
though- those were on fords...

I have a pair of NOS headlight mount panels and buckets, the headlights
in those are T3's, maybe you can find them on EBAY. Most of the other
parts are also on there from time to time, good luck.

Hi Fury experts...
My friend and I are restoring a 1958 Plymouth Fury. We have need for
information on several parts if anyone has or knows where to locate
them...here they are.
. What are the correct headlamps both high and low beam?
(what were the originals and are they still available? also,
if the original ones are not available what is the
replacement bulbs and where can I find them?)
. Need the Horn Relay switch. Does anyone have one and
if not do you know where I can locate one.
. Need a floor dimmer switch...
. Need the correct ballast resister.
. Still need information on where to find the clips for the
wrinkled stainless on each side of the top.
Any information or availability would be appreciated...
Thanks, Mike
