I wonder if the special 85 watt bulbs are still available?

I would be surprised if they are still available, unless they were used for another application (like a movie projector? ...if anybody still uses movie projectors...).

Hagerty had a good article on the Super Lite a couple of years ago (note how it was spelled "lite" in advertising, but "light" in one of the company documents I posted above):

Mopar was trying to offer something legal to upgrade the pathetic American headlight standards. They offered the Super-Lite in '69, but for '70 the DOT banned them. Back then the DOT would have rather had the 1940 standards maintained, go figure.


Back in 2016 at a service station near where I live I snapped a couple of pictures of a doomed 1969 Dodge Monaco sedan with a rare Super-Lite. The car had a 383 and was equipped for h.d. towing. A day or 2 after I took the pictures it was hauled away for scrap.
