Get ready for sticker shock. Paragon has most of the stuff you need. I just ordered a couple of small parts to finish up my headlights. Be prepared to pay in excess of 3 Benjamins per side for the buckets and all of the pivots and other small parts. I haven't seen a set of motors for sale lately but they are around. They aren't cheap either.

Others probably have them as well, should include everything except the motor and limit switches. You are looking at $2,000.

Default New Headlight Assemblies

There was a guy at Carlisle last year (I believe he was there this year as well) selling brand new, complete headlight assemblies for right at a grand. The assemblies included everything except the wiring harnesses and the motors. The buckets are metal, he did not have fiberglass ones available.

I saw numerous sets of headlight assemblies, all of them needed rebuilding and all of them were selling for over a grand a set, without motors.

I can't recall the name, but I have them in the garage for an upcoming project. If anyone is interested, I'll check the box for a name.

Good luck... GUSTO
