Before you whip out the credit card for those "headlights" (unsafe, illegal headlamp-shaped trinkets from China), please read this thread and this thread.
Yes, listed and linked in post № 11 of this thread.
There are no legitimate 7" round LED headlamps to fit your Dart that have a full round LED ring like that, but if you've got the cash you can have a cool upper-half-of-ring white LED "eyebrow".
GE H6024NH is a great headlight. They are inexpensive and I suggest them when selling my headlight relay kits.
The kit and lights make a HUGE difference in performance. A lot of relay kits out there suggest pulling power from a horrible spot on our mopars.
I think they sell a polarity independent LED flasher now, of the same type:you will need to install this new flasher (2-prong like original; connect its ground wire conveniently).
Hey Dan, just a question. I came from a dealership background and always had a headlight aiming tool available to use. Is there a procedure the backyard mechaniccan use to get them close? Thanks in advance.Crackedback is right about relays and he's a good man to see for 'em.
Headlamps dim gradually with usage; new ones are a good idea even if the old ones get brighter with relays. The H6024 Night Hawk is about the only 7" round headlamp that is both cheap and decent. The Hella Vision Plus is less cheap but more headlamp, especially if you use these bulbs in them. Lamp aim is by far the main thing that determines how well you can (or can't) see at night with any given set of lamps, so it is well worth your time, money, and hassle to get the lamps are aimed carefully and correctly with an optical aiming machine per this info; sealed beams are the "mechanical aim" type (use "VOL" specs for the Hella units).
Also think about the other end of the car; see here. Be careful and skeptical about "LED bulbs" sold to replace filament types; almost all of them are useless and unsafe (that includes all of them sold for headlamps). For smaller lamps there are a few good ones; these work well in brake/tail lights and these work well in back-up lights; you will need to install this new flasher (2-prong like original; connect its ground wire conveniently).
Note there is no LED bulb that will work effectively in the front turn signals of a car (such as a '66 Dart and many but not all other A-bodies) that has Fresnel-type optics -- that's the kind where the lens has a central round bullseye with a series of round rings surrounding the bullseye.
Nighthawks, are available ,still ?... I eventually will need Rob 's " Cracked Backs " kits. I prefer modern lighting, without China B.S....GE H6024NH is a great headlight. They are inexpensive and I suggest them when selling my headlight relay kits.

I recently installed these for my tail/brake lamps and wanted to get your opinion of them?
Unsafe junk, please get 'em out of there pronto—seriously. Either put in spec incandescent bulbs or the LEDs I linked, or the (only) other potentially acceptable one for brake lights is this one (that's the only one that works acceptably if your car has Fresnel bullseye/ring lens optics in the taillights as decribed above for the front turn signals -- I didn't mention it at first because the '66 Dart in question doesn't have Fresnel-type taillights). I say "potentially" acceptable because it's not just a matter of "Yep, they light up and they look nice 'n' bright to me". Any incandescent bulb of the specified type (like an 1157) works acceptably in any lamp designed to take that filament bulb, but LEDs are a basically different kind of light source than the lamp was designed for, so even if it physically fits, even if it looks like it lights up OK, it's case-by-case as to whether it works safely and otherwise acceptably. Please see details here, then you'll need to assess the performance of the LED bulbs in your particular lamps by comparing them side-by-side with the original incandescents as reasonably well described here.
