I was working on my headlight and parklight wiring today, and thought that I should check how my new glass park light lenses fit. Well the tabs at the back fit good on top of the headlight bucket, but when I put the parklight housing on I end up with quite a big gap around the top edge. I'am I missing something :confused: like a rubber gasket or is this just more after market blues frown
Thanks: Stuart

Check out Scott's at:

He lists a "housing to head lamp" gasket! I got a couple for my /46.

Stuart - There is indeed a gasket that goes under the lense. You can get them from any of the vendors or make your own. I used some 1/8" sheet foam that I found at the materal store in the crafts section. It comes in 8 1/2" x 11' sheets, any color you want. It's closed cell foam and works well. I think I had to use two layers. It might cost you $0.50 for a sheet.
