Title: 1971 cuda headlight bucket identification.
Post by: Shoooter on February 03, 2018, 05:06:54 PM
I have three sets of headlight buckets and I'm not sure what ones are correct for a 1971 cuda. I think the left one is correct?. the right one is for a challenger? middle one? what ones are the correct ones?  they all have the same numbers on the sets I believe.

The one on the far left in your picture looks like it's for the larger "2 Headlight" system 1970/72,73,74. :alan2cents:

All 4 buckets are different , so you need the smaller 5" ones first
then on the rim of the bucket you will see
Hi/Lo or Hi followed by R or L

As Psycho said, each car takes four different buckets....The inside hole won't really matter... You typically find the ones with the largest hole (in your picture) on 70-71's, but if you find a set with smaller holes, I wouldn't really sweat it :alan2cents: they'll still work fine.

these are the small 5" one . the picture isn't a good one. I know that there are 4 different buckets for a complete set  and they are labeled accordingly. the question I have is what one is correct for a 1971 cuda. all these have the same hi, hi-lo ECT. the numbers are the same  one each set. it is the center part that is different

Even though with my old eyes the one on the top of your second picture still looks larger to me,  :rubeyes: I would say that one has the correct size hole for 70-71

I assure you they are the same size. it looks off to me in the picture as well. I will use those ones. any idea what the middle one is off of? charger?  I think the one on the right is off of a 70-71 challenger.
