Where to get headlights

I am just wondering where everyone gets replacement headlights for their 60s - 70s B bodies (round 5.75" - I believe). We used to be able to get them anywhere for about $10 bucks. Now I am not finding them.

The original part numbers show as 4001 and 4002 for the headlights in my book (for a 68 Charger with 4 headlight system). I have found Sylvania H5006 bulbs at Autozone, does anyone know if these are a replacement for one of the sets (inner or outer) of headlights? It also looks like there was a Sylvania H5001, but they don't cary it anymore, and I am not sure which one would replace wich set.

:confused:

Any help appreciated.
Thanks,

I am also wondering which set of headlights are HI beam and which are HI/LO beam... innner or outer.

I have been puting this car together for many years and have never seen the headlights work.

I am assuming that the 3 prong is the HI/LO (and that is outer). So, outers must be HI/LO and inners just come on when HI beams are on. Right?

I have Sylvania H5006 lights with three prongs, so they must be HI/LO, right?

Can I use these same lights on the inners with the two prong connectors? Or do I need to find somwhere that sells H5001 bulbs for the inners?

Thanks for any suggestions on this. Someone else must have already gone through this on these cars.

We have to use H4 headlights in Germany. Wonderful lighting conditions.

They fits exactly without any modifications in the stock postition.

OK, great. Thanks for the input guys.

It looks like the two H5006 that I just got are correct, and now I just need to get a couple H5001 from RockAuto.
