VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND NEWER 1965-1970 1969 Camaro headlights & NOS Floor mats

Was wondering if anyone knows what the correct type headlight is for my 69 Camaro?? Also lookiong for a correct set of front & rear floor mats. I have the moss green interior. Or if anyone knows where I can look for them. Moss Green is a tough color to find. Are the T'3 lights correct?

The correct 1969 sealed beam was a T-3. There is more than one version of a T-3 sealed beam as there were minor changed to the T-3 emblem over the years.
I believe the late design used in 1969 was reproduced.
Also I believe the 1970 was the first to have the new Power Beam sealed beam.

lectriclimited.com has your headlamps

Any idea where a person can buy the t'3 for single headlight??

you can try yearone.com .

Gene is correct on the PowerBeam Headlight. They were introduced on the 1970 Camaro in February of 1970. T-3s were still installed on 70 models that began production in late '69.

T-3s,both NOS and used can also be regularly found on eBay but usually no warranty?

Note that the 1969 (design) Camaro was produced until that time in 1970. They were registered as 1970 models....my son had one.
For some reason the new style 1970 Camaros were late in getting into production.

The other1970 GM vehicles were introduced in the Fall of 1969 and had Power Beams.

Gene, going to disagree with you on this. I think it's best to state that the transition period between T-3 and PowerBeam was not a "cut and dry" single day but rather depending on when assembly plants ran out of supply. T-3 bulbs remained in all "four-headlight" vehicles until 1971. In '71 the four-headlight cars began" transitioning to PowerBeam. Single headlight or "Nova, Chevelle, Camaro" etc. began with the Second Gen Camaro in Feb. of '70 and in all new '71s. 1970 Impala/Caprice and Chevelles had T-3s. There is some strong documentation on that.

Gene I don't think Power Beams were installed on 69 GM's,except some VERY late 69 Camaro's as you mention above.

The 4 headlamp T-3's ran through the 70 and 71 model years.I am not sure when the 2 headlamp GM's transitioned over to Power Beam,which is what this thread is about though.Just wanted to clarify on the 4 bulb set up.
