1974 911 headlight plug falls out
I have a 3 blade connection plug on the back of my sealed beams. There is nothing I can see holding it in place of the posts. It just falls off. Am I missing something?

There is nothing holding them in. If the plug slips off, GENTLY bend the tabs a bit to tighten them up. Alternatively, you can replace the sockets if they are worn.
However, do yourself a huge favor and get better lighting by getting a pair of the Hella H-4 headlights that are a direct replacement. Even with the 55/60W stock bulbs there is a noticeable improvement. You can get them here: Hella E4 Headlights. If you want the Euro Look, you can get these: Euro H4. No matter which you choose, it would be wise to add a headlight relay to prevent expensive damage to you turn signal/flasher stalk. You can get the relay here: Headlight Relay The Daniel Stern lighting web site can also be helpful. Daniel Stern Lighting
