    No repops and no other car uses the same style. There is a pretty decent amount of good used ones out there, and NOS do pop up on ebay from time to time.

    I have a pretty nice set of used ones. The painted portion will need repainted. PM me if you're interested.

    If it if for your '75, make sure to get a set with the later model adjuster locations.

    Jeff has the right pictures there ........ :thumbs2:

    75 and up cars moved the headlight adjusters to the side and top - so that is where the little cutouts are placed. Earlier cars were side and bottom.

    Any bezel will fit any car, but if you get the wrong ones for your car it just doesn't allow getting at those screws properly.

    And purists will spot the wrong bezels right away and go ...... :tsk::taz:

    :rolleyes:

    I think if you exchange LH/RH buckets, and rotate them 90 degrees, you could use the correct bezels and have the screws line up with the holes. Think that's why my buckets had the LH/RH buckets reversed. Someone suggested that in the thread where I was asking about it and I think they're right.

    Changing the buckets does not do it. Those headlight adjusters are mounted as part of the fender.
