I've been seeing old 50's pick up trucks with 7" headlamps with these cool visor or 'eyebrow' style chrome bezels. If they fit on a 7" light bulb, I thought maybe I should try a pair to see if they'd work. Check out how they look at this link here, they look great to me.....

I received them today, and they were the top 1/3 piece of chrome shown in the link above, (not including the circular bezels) they are supposed to fit between the car and the bezel, on top of the bezel. Alas, their circumference does not jibe with my bezels, and on my Dart there are two sticking out 1/2 inch long posts just under my bezel near the hood that also interfered.


UPDATED NEWS I also tried out the bezels at this link below. And they are much too small for the job. They do not cover enough 'raw' car to replace the originals. So don't try them out.

The second set you show, looks promising. I'm gonna take the part number to Tucker's Truck parts in Vegas to see if they carry the same ones. But I don't know when I'll be going that way.The last time I was there the counter man wasn't too slick. I asked for wire harness tape and all I got was a blank look........"Isn't it just black electrical tape?"DAH,NO !

The second set were too small to cover the area they needed to cover.
