Tungsten Bulbs fo Mustang

[Racerbvd]

Anyone have any information about these??

Not a clue. Far as I know, Mustangs from 1964 1/2 on were made to accept standard 12V bulbs. Headlights were 7" sealed beams back then. These must be aftermarket with their maker deciding to use the Mustang illustration.

Tungsram were( maybe still are, I have been out of the lighting business since 1978) one of the world's foremost lamp makers. There products, made in Budapest Hungary, were excellent quality and by English standards, really cheap when I went to the factory to arrange a deal to buy a large quantity to be private labelled.
The whole trip could have been the subject of a Benny Hill comedy show from the moment we arrived at the airport until we left. Of our party of 3, one hadn't bothered to get a visa and so we were kept waiting in a capital city airport with no food available(it was evening ) for hours whilst he obtained his visa. A colleagues unhelpful intervention asking if breakfast would be served, served only to delay our exit from the airport until 3 am .Our driver was still waiting for us in a huge Russian limo ( a ZIL or a ZIS ) which was too long to take a sharp bend on the approach to the Budapest Hilton and had to perform a series of reverses to finally negotiate the corner. I ,only in my 20's , was initially thrilled to be given a penthouse suite, but soon discovered that it was directly above the still open disco.
We were collected by the same gargantuan vehicle to be taken to the factory and were the subject of so many stares from the populace that we started to perform the royal wave as we were driven through the still bullet scarred streets.
Once inside the factory we were delighted to observe that the production( always a hot process) was performed by women wearing only white nylon coats over their underwear, because the temperature in their in high summer was way over that at which a British factory would have been closed down by the Factory Inspectorate. We arrived at the huge meeting room berry warm for two reasons.. The, at least a dozen, Tungsram officials rushed into the room and rudely dived on the Coke bottles( obviously normally unobtanium for them) but we were happy to try the local drinks. Every question we raised resulted in an underling being summoned to answer, so the meeting room doors were opening and closing with dazzling rapidity.
After a day of this nonsense my boss finally banged on the table and said that we were going home unless we could have definitive snswers within the next 10 minutes.A phonecall to the factory big boss resulted in our staying another night.
Back at the hotel my boss(a man who spoke ever louder in English if foreigners didn't understand him) made the mistake of idly swinging his room key whilst waiting for the elevator.
A female knocked on his room door shortly thereafter, and I was summoned from my room to tell( in German,) this woman who was demanding money to sling her hook.Apparently the Government sanctioned hookers to operate in tourist hotels to earn hard currency.
When paying our bills ( US dollar cash only)we had to accept change in a mixture of foreign currencies. Made compiling my expenses docket a bit of a task, but my boss understood as he was with me.
We had a little time to wander downtown so we dutifully looked for gifts for our wives. The only properly presented stores were book shops. The greengrocers stocked only misshapes( yet we had seen the freight trains carrying produce heading for the USSR). We found a department store which stocked charcoal heated flatirons , and stocked the rotorvators next to the underwear section . All we could reasonably buy were peasant blouses, which we later found out, none of our wives thanked us for .

This is a great sorry, and an example of how cool this board is. No matter the topic, somebody here did it, saw it, bought it, sold it, screwed it, or knows something about it. The genius of crowds.

My buddy I got them from, his father is big into German Fords. I have never seen an old Mustang with H4s, so I asked. Even showed them to a guy with a GT350 this and he hadn't seen anything like them. Cool story Petral, thanks for sharing.
