For some time now, I've been wanting to change the headlight trim rings on my '72 Supreme. The passenger side was really starting to look the worse for wear, and I decided it was finally time.

After sourcing an OEM set from Scott Winn, I got to it. Upon removal of said passenger side rings, I discovered that they were way different than OEM. (I'm guessing they are generic aftermarket made to cover a wide range of applications.) (See pics below.)

Luckily, the driver side was, in fact, correct, so I didn't have to replace those, (and they were in pretty good shape.)

I'm glad I finally decided to get this done, and now I have a matched set.

Here's a few pics:
Driver side (note the splits at the 8 o'clock position.) Again, these were not replaced as I originally intended.

Passenger side before. Note the substantial corrosion and discoloration. (Bezel removed for clarity.)

Passenger side after. (Note the 4 o'clock position of the splits that compliment the splits on the driver side.)


Here's a side by side comparison of the old passenger side rings vs the replacements. (Noticeable differences between the old on the left and the new on the right.)

 

Use some 0000 steel wool on those old trim rings and see if you can bring them back to life and sell them. (Assuming they were originally stainless steel)
You really can't see the height difference with the surround trim installed.

Chuck them in the trash if they aren't stainless under all that crud.

 

Na...they were too far gone to try and salvage them.
