Default Where can I find a 1979 Headlight Bezel

Anyone know who or where to pickup a new set of Headlight Bezels ? Need round ones, both Left and Right. I've only tried searching online and a few Catalongs (online) but I only see rectangle ones being listed.

Thanks

1979 Chevy G30

Removable bezels for round lights came out for only a short period of time till the square headlights were introduced in the 80's
They would be hard to find , it may be easier to replace your headlights with square lights and get new square bezels which are easier to find

Cheers ...... Vinny

Default Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I have searched ebay but not hits.

As far as converting to rectangle lights. I have thought about that as an option. For those who have done this swap. I figure I can find the parts out of the junk yards. But my question is for those who have done the swap. Is it a straight swap or is there any modification that needs to be done ?

Thanks

I swapped from round to square and tough it's been over 30 years I don't recall much of a problem
You need the square metal cups that the lights sit in , a few springs and the headlight aiming bolts
Then follow procedure (videos) found online on how to realign the headlights for high and low beam
