    Got these for ten bucks but don't know what they're off of. The guy said he thought they might be off a Buick, and I need rigs and lenses.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Look early aftermarket. Like King Bees with the flat backs. Any tag on the tops or backs of them?

    no tags on them anywhere, the pic isn't the best but they're in great shape.

    If I remember right, the plate is from the 40's.

    I'm getting some pix up of my coupe here soon....

    Not really, the backs aren't flat. I'd have to measure but I think they're a little bigger....I don't really think they're aftermarket myself....

    More detail shots will help you narrow down the search. Most GMs that I remember use a screw to hold the bezel to the bucket at the bottom. Fords will have 2 small fingers at the bottom for a T shaped spring arrangement to catch on. Profile shots will help with the approximate year. Headlights got longer and shaplier during the 30's.

    If they are GM you might find Chevy repro parts to fit.

    Thanks, I'd get better pics up but I'm digital camera deficent right now.

    Gotta love the college diet of frozen pizza and the cheapest beer you can find.
