    any one know where I can find these headlight buckets/trim rings 37-39 Ford

     



    I have the standard buckets which I have converted to sealed beam behind the clear glass lens.

    I like the look of these better and can't find the buckets or trim rings any where.

    Anyone know where I can find these ^^^^




    I'm not a fan of this version which I see everywhere:

    yeah it was all I could find.


    I have shattered the glass on my headlights twice and scratched the paint in multiple places, trying to remove the trim rings so I can adjust the sealed beams..

    @ $140 a pair, I've had it, the design of the headlights is the most asinine thing I have ever seen, the trim ring snaps into place and is held on with a single bolt at the bottom, but after sitting for several months they get fused to the metal bucket and removing them takes an act of god.

    It’s not the bolts it’s the snap on clips that are the issue.

    Your supposed to be able to turn the trim ring counter clockwise 1/4 - 1/2 inch to release it. But the top clamp gets seized to the ring and won’t allow you to turn it. Too much pressure cracks the glass because it’s pressure seated against the trim ring.

    Not what you want, but I found my Juliano's polycarbonate lenses to be trouble free. I used a thin stainless steel washer under the bucket, at each mounting screw, to raise the bucket a little. Removal is no problem. The stainless steel rings are from gear head. I also have Juliano's turn signal inside the bucket. They are a pain to get cut to the right shape, after the headlights are aimed.

    How are you posting pictures these days? I used to get great results from photobucket, but it's a mess now. I changed the address to a higher resolution picture, but it's still small. I don't see any way to enlarge the picture on flickr.
