    Hi everyone. I'm looking to either buy or refurbish my marker lights in the grille of my 73 comet. I need the back sections that contain the bulb. Mine are pitted and rusty. Can i sand blast those and paint with a reflective paint or does someone sell reproductions?

    You can look for NOS ones....but they may be a little pricey. Otherwise....paint.

    Craig, you ever compared lights to the ones on a 70 Mach 1? The look very similar.
