Hi,
in the 2 bulbs reflectors, the parking bulb goes on the top or in the bottom of the reflector ?
The following photo shows the parking light on the bottom position

Hi Guys,
again many thanks for your answers.
Regarding the reflectors and headlamps I have another question.
I bought the 2 bulbs headlight socket, but I don't know why I can't connect the socket with the 3 cables through the back headlamp socket :mad:
Any idea what I'm doing wrong or maybe I'm missing something ?
Some photos of how the cables goes imto the headlamp would help a lot.
Cheers and tks in advance.

It's a fight! All this repro stuff is not of high quality. May need a little tweeking.

Actually, the main bulb would remain correct, as it is stationary and not part of the reflector....

I thought the bulb holder was keyed only on one side so that when the focus screw is turned the bulb would not rotate in the reflector. I don't have a set handy to double check.
 
It has been my experience that the repo sockets are nothing but a short waiting to happen. I prefer to rewire original sockets. They are not too hard to find at swap meets. Gar Williams
 
Charlie, I'm not sure exactly where your problem lies. Do you have the right conduits and plugs? Here is a diagram that may help you sort it all out. I'm loading both a PDF and a JPG, because I don't know which one will show better.

Maybe I need to buy something more in between ?

Charlie,
There are 2 styles of head light buckets, 2 wire & 3 wire. Post a photo of
the head light bucket, from the outside, on the bottom.
