Re: [Chrysler300] 300C head lamps

Mark,

Assuming you don't have an early production single lamp setup, the Tung-Sol bulbs Ray highlighted are correct, as are GE bulbs.  What's unique is that the late 50's cars originally had the 5/8" dot in the center of the bulb with the TS or GE logos.  Most cars do not have these correct bulbs as they quit making that design by the early 1960's and obviously burned out with use....especially the low beams. 

I have a full set of working, used 5/8" dot GE's I'd sell if you're interested originality.  

Best,

Hello Mark -

I am fortunate to still have the original 5-3/4" Tung-Sol sealed-beam headlights on my 300C - they cross-reference to part number H5001 (high beam) and H5006 (hi-lo beam).  I believe the "H" means "halogen", which would not have been applicable in 1957.  Other General Electric numbers such as 4000 for the Hi beams and 4001 for the Hi/Lo beams are also found.  I can't get to the backside  of my installed headlights to see if any original numbers are still visible.  There are numerous 5-3/4" conversions that use superior H4 and H1 bulbs if you are more concerned with lighting effectiveness than with absolute originality.
