We have the ABS bezels for 80.00 a pair, if you want these just call sales at 800-588-3883. I don't have them in the forum sale side yet, but I cand add the link tomorrow.

I have original metal bezels if you want to go that route, but I would use the ABS bezels, they work and function just fine.

Why go repro...there are MILLIONS of OEM fiberglass bezels, usually about $15 each used...they will fit perfectly.

Thanks, Glenn

thanks guys..........one question though.

It appears my headlamp housings are slightly different from each other. At the rear upper outer edges of each housing, one looks to have a filled in and contoured area, while the other seems like the casting did not have that. Is there a difference in year models on the housing and if so which is which? Do the bezels all fit each style?

GD,

I called Tom yesterday afternoon and he said that he thinks we already sold the metal bezels. We only had one set left. I'll be in on Monday and check to make sure.

Kaiser,

There were different housings, but the bezels will all enterchange.

Fiberglass? The original bezels on my '69 are pot metal, or some undetermined cast metal. Maybe the later C3s came with plastic bezels???
