    My late 65 registered 66 has the original amber lights.

    The amber plastic style were correct for apprx '63 - newer. The clear glass w/ chrome bezel were correct for the earlier Willys era.
    Choose whichever you prefer!

    I'd go with the clear, presuming nothing has to be altered to fit, or new holes drilled.

    Plus the glass type might be easier to deal with for changing the bulb. The newer style has that oddball snap ring attachment.

    DO NOT LET THAT SNAP RING FLY AWAY! I have spent a lot of time looking for one before when it escaped.

    how many contact points are in the inside bottom of the bulb holder?

    The straight across slots are for single element bulbs, those with marker lights but without turn signals. There should be a single pigtail wire out of that light.

    There were 6v dual contact bulbs with aligned pins (1130?). I hink a 1176 would be the 12 volt replacement. If not available in amber a little Testers transparent amber paint will cure that.
