Triple contact plugs, what application ?

Post by FATMAN » Mon Aug 31, 2020 12:43 pm

Going through a lot of N.O.S. single and double contact headlight plugs, I ran across some triple contact ones, any idea what they would fit? Bob

Could it be for one of these with the park light socket added?

I do not think so, it takes 3 wires per plug, got me interested in finding out, Bob
