68' 442 Headlight Surrounds
#2
I hope you can find a decent pair. Mine were shot and I ended up buying a reproduction set from Fusick. The reproductions look great on the outside but the mounting them proved to be a bit of a challenge as a couple of the mounting "holes" on the backside of the surrounds weren't long enough to reach the core support. I had to add spacers to make it work right. But the repros are a option if you can't find originals.

Thanks Randy, will keep that point in mind. I can always cut some Delrin spacers on my lathe. These jewels are pretty expensive to buy new so I hope someone has a descent set at a reasonable price. I started taking one off just to repair a running light socket. A LOT of work just for that but I'm picky. Seeing the condition mine are in I need to replace them. Crazy that you have to drop the bumper to pull these to get to the parking light/turn signal.

I bought mine 8 years ago, in 2007, from Fusick. They do look great but I had to shim up a couple of the fastener areas in the back so they would be flush with the core support. That would be great if the newer editions were better!
