Headlight Retaining Ring
« on: March 27, 2015 - 04:51:43 PM »
Not sure is this is the right forum, but I'm working on installing a 71 grill into my my 73 barracuda. Does anyone have a good source for the 5 3/4 headlamp retaining rings? All my google searches turn up the bezels but I'm not finding anything for the rings.   :1zhelp:

The stainless rings that hold the bulb to the pot are the same for all small 4 headlight systems. :2cents:

if you have the right buckets they will each be stamped differently for the proper position such as R - H or R Hi Lo

I meant the trim rings, not the retainers. But I googled and see they are different.
