T3 head lights I believe is the answer that you are seeking out buddy. they are hard to come across unless your looking for a model # on them, that i cannot help you with. but T3's were what they used back in the day.

Rick,
I not sure the T3's were used on 2 gen Firebird's? The info I'm hearing is Power Beam head lights and I have a line on two, new in the box.
Thanks!

I had the new seat belt labels stitched to the seat belts today and I think I have them position correct. I have enough extra labels to do 4 more set of belt if anyone needs a set with a 46A71 date code PM me? A few have already asked and I will hold a set for them.
Thanks!
Pat

Now that you mention it, I think Power Beams are correct

the belts look good, I take it your belts weren't color keyed?

your right 72 is the first year of them after searching this seems to be what i found over and over
These "Power Beam" headlamps mustered as much candlepower on low beam as the quad headlights used on the 1972 models.

Put the back seats & lap belts in. I had to cut some vinyl out of the original door panel to go under the outer seat belt bolt. I think PUI should supply a few scraps with a back seat order. Not much head room in the backseat, I’m only 5-8 my head is hitting the headliner.

Sweetness! Yeah, the back seats are not fun to work in, but with the results you got, it was so worth it. I really enjoy checking in on this thread and seeing all the great work you do. I think you've inspired me to get some work done on my car this weekend.
