My headlight buckets are no good and I'm looking to get some new ones. Do you guys have opinions on if the aftermarket ones work okay and also the trim ring that holds the headlight on?

Of all the repop parts I've purchased, the headlamp buckets were to most identical to the original pieces.... I don't have an opinion on the trim rings- I was able to polish mine up pretty well

Thank you for the feedback. That is good news. I will see if anybody has any thoughts about the trim rings

I would not order the buckets from classic ind. I did and one does not fit well and the other was missing the spring hole
