Re: [AMC-List] my tail light expense

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

Seems I remember the taillights for the 62 being a bit unique now -- oh 
well, you have to do what you have to do! At least the headlights will
be easy -- standard replacement part in any parts store. I have halogen 
sealed beams in mine. I haven't found any with the replaceable bulbs,
but I haven't been looking. The sealed beam halogens work just as good, 
much better than standard sealed beams.

made me spray paint the bulb red right there on the side of the
highway. LOL. guess that
