First off, excuse my ignorance.  Help me understand something? Cuda's and Barracuda's have Dual 7 inch single Headlights, correct? and Challengers have two 5 3/4 high beam and two low beam headlights. On the Cudas and Barracudas do they have maybe dual lighting elements in each bulb for more light in the high beam switch position? Or maybe does the car the supply more power to each bulb in the high beam switch positions, for more overall light? If anyone can explain this? Thanks everybody............

The 7 " have dual filaments Hi & lo
the outer 5 " have dual filaments hi & lo the inner have only single filament , hi only
So in high beam all 4 light up

So would the headlight switch and maybe high beam switches be different on both cars?


Chryco Psycho

No , same headlight & dimmer switch in both just more load across the switches in a 4 headlight car 
71 Cudas had 4 - 5 " headlights just like Challenger for 1 year only
