Lionel 318E headlight part questions

I've purchased a few of those through Hennings...

Mark in Oregon

According to information contained in Greenberg's Guide to Lionel Prewar Parts and Instruction Sheets on DVD that I have  ( 1937 replacement parts listing  for electric type locomotives )....says

Headlight Contact Support   part number is NH-6

Headlight Hood part number is NH-11

These are the only part numbers I could find with reference to headlights

Hope this is helpful

Do the bulbs contact the fiber contact board when board is inserted. Most bulbs work.

Contact Hennings and get the socket, fiber board, and bulb at the same time so that they all will fit

Thanks.  This is the one I found on henning's ebay site. The description says

"NH-11 Lionel Diecast Headlight w/Bulb and Contact, Standard Gauge

This is the original style die-cast replacement headlight casting, complete w/mounting screw, bulb, and 'T' electrical connector. It fits the 'later' Lionel standard gauge electric locos, such as #8, 9, 10, 318, 380, 402 & 408"

Does anyone know what they mean by "later"?  I can't tell if it has a bracket to support the "T" contact or if that is even needed with there part.  It's definitely not a direct match to what I have now.  Any thoughts on if this would work?

That’s the correct lamp for your 318. The bracket is separate , if isn’t still with your 318 you will need that also. I don’t have a part # handy but Hennings should have that also .

Bracket is NH-6 called a Headlight contact support. Hope this helps.

OK.  I thought the hennings part would be complete.  They do sell the NH6 on their website, but wasn't sure it would fit this contact design since the contacts on my headlight have a thinner profile.  These are much fatter if you compare my original post photo.  The photo below is what Henning's sells as NH-6.  I''ll have to call them and find out if these brackets fit the headlights they are selling.  I'm surprised that they don't sell everything as one package since these are only $1.00 for two brackets!
