Repro 68 tail light bezels

[Mytur Binsdirti]

These are the only things that couldn't be chromed (due to pitting). Has anyone ever bought them? If so, what do you think?

[Ghoste]

It doesn't help much but a buddy of mine who is into 68's was impressed by a set of those we saw at a swap meet.

I have the complete tail light assemblies. I've only had them out of the box once but I was very happy then.

Holy smokes, 950 for tail lights?  I'm glad mine came with my car.  i'm hoping all I have to do is a rechrome at worst like Turbin.

I'd be looking at a lot more that that to have mine repaired properly and rechromed.

The chrome shop I went to said that I'd be looking at about 10 hours of labor (X $75.00 per hour) to fill & file all of the pits plus plating costs.

[Ghoste]

Not an easy part to plate either with all of those ridges.

I bought those for my '68 probably 8 years ago now, was really happy with the quality at the time.  Never tried bolting them to the taillight housings though.

PG Classics has them a little cheaper. I believe they make them for BE&A

At least they're now available. I'll have to consider them.

I got a set of bezels from DCS (I think it was) which I believe came from PG Classic. Cheaper to buy them new than rechrome but the housings can run about $50-$100 less depending on which chromer you talk to. Anyway, 2 of the 4 bezels I got had to be modified slightly to fit in the cutout area where they mate at the bottom of the housings. That was pretty irritating. I tried making them work 9 ways to Sunday but they just wouldn't go without carving on them a little with a carbide bit. On top of that they were not painted in the ribbed area so I taped off the smooth chrome area real good and sanded the ribs down for primer and paint. I can't say I'm too thrilled about how this all turned out but that's the way it is. The BEA sets might be better but as far as I know they are all made at the same place.

I think I paid around $850 when I ordered mine  They are nice but my originals were mia and getting some redone is alot of $...time will only tell how they hold up and if I made the right choice

Ya know...

Several years ago...

I had a fairly decent pair of '68 Charger taillights.

I didn't want them.

So...

I took them to the swap meet.

I had them marked $5 for the pair.

No takers.

Three or four swap meets later...

I still had them.

Still marked five bucks.

So...

Weeks go by...

The next door neighbor was outside building "something"...

I said...

"Hey Joe !"

"Whatchadoin'"?

He said:

"I'm building a trailer to haul my lawn mower on"...

"Say"...

"You ain't got any junk tail light layin' around do ya"?



I said:

"Just a minute"....

"Here ya go"




It's the only utility trailer that I know of with '68 Charger taillights on it.

[moparstuart]

[Daytona R/T SE]

hey can you go swipe them for me

He keeps it parked in his Mom's backyard.

She lives right around the corner from me...

And it's dark outside
