1953 Parking light housing

I am currently looking for some replacement housings for my front Parking light/turn signals.
The ones currently on my 1953 88 are clearly aftermarket universal style with a 2.5 inch diameter for the bucket/housing.

They have become a bit too corroded and instead of trying to save them I would rather pick up some new ones.

But searching online I am having trouble finding anything that seems like it would be a good fit.

Any recommendations?

Have you tried Fusick? It's been awhile but the ones they had looked like the originals and didn't rust( that was for a 55 may be different for a 53)....Tedd

Parking light housing

I have one of them left over from my 53' restore. Has a little ding that would be an easy fix. No corrosion at all


Little dent on lip

No corrosion

I thought about calling them. They may have some ideas.
I believe the 55 housing is more of a flush mounted design, whereas the 53 is sunken into the fenderwell.

The housing I have are aftermarket, like universal lights for a trailer or something. And they work great, theyre just getting a bit too corroded.
