What should I replace at the same time?
Where labor overlaps, replace bulbs in pairs so both sides age together, and put a smear of dielectric grease on the new socket contacts.
What do the market flags (US, CA, MX) on each part mean?
They show the market for which the manufacturer published application data for that part — where the vehicle was first sold, not where the part was made. If your 1972 Triumph TR6 was originally sold in the US, the safest choice is a part marked for the US market.
How do I make sure a part fits my 1972 Triumph TR6?
