[QUOTE="Luke 1967, post: 160112, member: 4151"] Ok. Had a chance to check my cups... (yes, that does sound weird!!). First, there are stamps, but not A or B, so I assume mine have been replaced at some point. The stamps where different for Outer and inner cups. But when I laid them all on the bench, other than the stamps, the cups seemed identical. I then stacked them and you can see in the second picture that there is one notch that is offset differently on the outer vs inner cups. These match the notches behind the sealed beams which are also positioned differently on the high beam seal vs low beam seal, making it possible to install the beams correctly only by using the right cups. So I can confirm to you that you need different cups for inner and outer (low beam, high beam). Xfire82s parts book will be the right source to determine what other GM cars had the same cups so you can check the salvage yards. I learned something today! Good Luck [ATTACH]25420[/ATTACH][ATTACH]25421[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
