The headlights that came on my Twenty Eight were very sad, no lens, the housings were either unusable or incorrect, one lens ring was incorrect etc. I was able to pick up a few of the correct housings and other parts and a few months ago decided to start working on the lights. I think that they turned out pretty good. I was able to work the dents out good enough that no body filler was needed. I did have to solder up a could of pin holes in a couple of housings.
.
There were more parts involved than I thought there were and getting the gaskets like I wanted them was a pain.
.
Thanks
Ken

Neil, when these took me about three months between some other small projects, no requests. They were fun but maddening at the same time. The housings took a few attempts on the paint for me to be happy.

I'll bet it did Ken. They're probably better than factory now, knowing your quality of work : )
