Is your car is a Nightmist blue 67 Shelby or for that matter a SJ built Mustang ? The reason for the question is Westinghouse brand with the molded in trademark was not used at that SJ plant. That is in case you were concerned with what was assemblyline correct. If not concerned then never mind and best of luck with your search.

It is a SJ car.  Are you suggesting that they should be Tung Sol?

Tung Sol and GE were widely used at SJ ,Westinghouse house was not typically used at SJ in 65,66,or 67 as it relates to Shelby's. Westinghose was predominate off and on at Dearborn and or Metuchen.

About 6 months ago, I bought two GE 4002 headlight bulbs for my 67 in Sweden at EBAY. They were in their original packages
and the date on the backside is H66 on both. Paid $150 for them. However, they have no FoMoCo etched in the glass. Did originals for 67 Shelbys always have FoMoCo?

Sadly enough, there won't be any trip to Sweden this summer as I am going to have open heart surgery in 4 weeks.
This is a warning for all of you my friends. When doing a cleaning at the dentist please make sure you take antibiotics before the treatment. I didn't and caught a strep bacteria which went by the blood directly to the heart and destroyed the valves which now must be replaced. Lost over 30 lbs in weight (all muscles) not fat and one of the medicines (Heparin blood thinner) I got has side effects like shredding skin on the inside of my hands like a snake. Also my hair is falling out. Stopped using it yesterday so keep your fingers crossed for me.
Thanks,
Texas Swede

Yes ,in 67 the Ford bulbs in the case of Tung sol and GE were Ford etched. The non etched bulbs were sold at auto parts stores . More importantly I will pray that all goes well with your surgery .

Thanks, guys.
The surgeon is a Finnish guy and when he heard I was born in Sweden, he said, I hate Swedes.
He was joking as we have a rivalry in ice hockey.

Thanks everybody,
Don't believe it's the dentist fault but my own. I had an infection and was coughing and sneezing when I was
getting my teeth cleaned so my immune system was probably compromised. They have always asked me if I need
antibiotics and I have said no and nothing has happened before during all these years (twice a year).
Next time I will accept it though.
