Thread: Quick headlight question

Yes, you've got the idea on the filler/retainer ring. I agree, you may have to play with the pieces some to get them to fit neatly. As for the black color you can go other ways on finish. If you're going with polished stainless original bezels then you could have those rings chrome plated. If you're going to paint the bezels body color, then the rings would almost disappear painted likewise. Or similar concepts whatever other ideas you might have.

As for the curvature match up I'm a little lost on what your concern is. Here's a picture of one of my '36 headlights. In this case the lense is very curved and the bezel sort of flat. That sounds like the opposite of what you're describing, but '35 is different. Maybe a picture of what you're concerned about would help.
