I have a set of 1966 Valiant complete head light assemblies (buckets, mounting hardware etc) are these the same as 63-65 Valiant/Cuda too? Also, are they the same as the ones used in 63-66 Dodge Darts? Thanks!:glasses7:
 

I have a fresh cup of coffee in front of me, let me do some searching :coffee2:
 
As far as the radiator support and where the head light baskets attach I bet waggin would shed some lite on this I bet .. And yes, the 63 to 65 darts are he same if the internet is not fibbing :coffee2:
 
short answer no, the buckets on the earlier cars have the adjustment screw portion built in with the bucket, later styles are just the steel cup 7 the adjustment screws can be replaced.

if I'm reading your question correctly

ok. looks to me that 63 64 and 66 are the same for darts and valiants don't have a 65 floating around anywhere to take a peek at but they should be the same too.

now the later models are different, but I don't know what year they started to add the adjustment screws , but 70 darts did!


here they are

these need the plastic adjusters with screws added in to aim the lights.
