The last set I had came from an electrical supply store.

FYI -the glass locating "nubs" are in a different spot than the stock high beams, so to use the amber fog lamps you need to notch your headlight bucket mounting cups with tin snips.

tractor supply. Or got to and auto parts store and have them look them up for a tractor using the 4 head lamp automotive lamp dimension for the lamp size. Then you will have to un solder the terminals and resolder them in the proper placement for the plug end. there is also a yellow and a true amber lamp

Mine are fog lights off some old Volvo.  I paid $5 or $6 for the pair at a junkyard.  They take the removable H3 bulbs.  They were a direct bolt in, the glass locating nubbins were in the right spot, mounting depth was the same as stock, no difference except for the electrical connector, I was able to use to little "jumper" wires to plug into the stock Chrysler connector.   

I'll be replacing them soon with aircraft landing lights, I don't get enough fog to need fog lights where I'm at in California.   :scared:

Consider doing the headlight relay upgrade, the voltage drop at the head lights is pretty bad in these 38 year old cars!!

those things really light up the road.dad had some of those in a '62 imperial wagon.the state trooper at the drivers license station told my mom they had to come out.she asked him "why is that? ya'll run em in yor cars".i still laugh wen i remember the look on his face. i gave those to a friend with a '70 el camino. he put them in and flipped out how good they lit up the road.
