Remember when you could buy a headlight sealed beam bulb for less then $10.00? And they gave you pretty good light and didn't blind the oncoming drivers. If this is true, and I have no reason to think it's not, then we are the stupidest bunch of consumers in the world to let the car companies do this to us. Okay, I'm ready for the backlash.
no, but only because I never replaced them until about 1996 on any car. So, the inflation probably already hit them. I think I paid about 20 something apiece. Now a simple set are about 35 apiece, I just replaced all 4 on my 69 Coronet

ReplyDeleteI do! A headlight was a big larger than a houselight, but seriously, not much different! They were cheaper than expected, 10 to 15 bucks!
DeleteRemember when shocks were $5.95???
