I may have found the Holy Grail... Headlight trim rings/ headlamp rims!

Not sure what is specific to Classic Roadsters for dimensions but the WCC also uses a universal big truck type 7 inch bulb housing. So many aftermarket versions out there , they sell them for VW based projects too. EMPI is one example. Seen here. You can also check out SLC Lighting.

Like the version I have from the old KD Lamp company its a polymer housing with nice heavy chrome metal ring. I found a set of NOS lamps from the 80’s with superb chrome plating.

No photos and sizes are at Raney truck parts. They look identical to my Classic lights. 7 5/8 inch od trim ring. PAI makes them in USA. The 101010 at end of bucket part number is printed on this hook up plug wire. For hi and low beam bulbs instead of just single element. I can get some photos on here in a few

I'm just starting building my never assembled 1992 kit.

I need a few parts, headlights, signals, tail lights, so I'm trying to source out the parts. These will work with the harness too, or did the CRII not have high beams? Is there any mods needed to wire them in or a simple splice? What does one do for a dimmer switch? Thanks for posting that info!
