Head and tail lights

[Stewart Loy]

Juan,

The big light is for an earlier Carrier - your T-16 uses a jeep headlamp. They look like a regular headlamp - smaller than the one you are offered. The obturated cover - known as 'blackout' is a CMP part - not for your machine. The jeep lamp had a canvas cover to hide them. There was a blackout lamp, but they were put on late T-16s. I cannot say if your E2 got one. My T-16 does not have one.

$100 each for the tail lights seems a bit steep. You can get new ones for that much. Same for the parking lights. They are made new, so don't worry about never seeing one again. John Bizal should be able to fix you up.

Owning a vintage machine costs a bit of money, but you have to keep your wits about you. I would keep looking beyond the flathead Dodge guy. In reality - who else is he going to sell the stuff to? It will be there if and when you decide that you need it.

Good luck.
