Bob Ellis Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Ron , did you have any problems poping out the clear headlights on that Buick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 Ron , did you have any problems poping out the clear headlights on that Buick?Fortunately, the kit headlamps popped right out, an thy were friction fit. I did not like the look of them, so I found some clear lenses that fit into the opening, which I recessed. bare-metaled the openings and the backs of the lenses. I have a '61 Convertible I am restoring along the same lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Ellis Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Ron , these headlights are jewels fom Jo-Ann Fabrics. I filed them round and used plastic polish to make them shine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Sauber Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I used those 'craft jewels' for the lights on this one as well.......I once found a pack of the clear smooth style but haven't seen them for a while...most of the craft store gems have the 'diamond cut textures' however.
