Just this afternoon I received an email from a seller who has six pairs that I intend to purchase; he emailed me two videos to show / prove to me their condition.

If someone wants a copy of the videos, PM me with your email address.

I intend to commit to their purchase ASAP.

I'll be taking "orders" if someone wants a pair. I'm not looking to make money on these, I'm just doing it because it's fun. My contact in Brazil, who's doing my legwork there, he's making a buck (as I've described in my earlier posts) but that's only fair to him IMHO.

I'll follow-up on pricing once the purchase is finalized. It's looking like they'll be a few US$ cheaper than those I bought in Dec 2021.

I would be in as well for two pairs.

I’d be in for a pair but would still like to see an installed picture if possible.

Here's the only picture I have handy, taken from afar, zoomed and cropped to highlight my Sub... from this perspective you can't really tell too much.

Thanks. Let’s roll!

I've been thumbing through my iPhone looking for pictures.

Here's another from about a year ago when I was moving my Firebird using the Suburban. Zoom-in to get some perspective of the visible Arteb reflector. One can see, for example, a "black dot" in the lower half of the low-beam... that black dot is the fixture for the "city light" feature. Arteb includes a fixture for a 193-style bulb with the reflector.

I've also attached a picture of a new reflector so one can compare.

The Firebird sits high in front b/c there's no engine or transmission. It'll get a 455 w/ roller cam, which is partially assembled, and a TH400, which is already rebuilt.

i Assume the city light fixture is installed without a lamp to seal the reflector cavity and keep out debris? Have you considered using this lamp for any reason or is it better left unoccupied?
