Beg, borrow or steal (not mine of course ) a set of originals if you can. They are not identical, Left and Right
The repros have issues. As our sponsor says, "use as a last resort"

GTO housings are made from fiberglass and are fragile. Not hard to repair if you find a set that are cracked or broken. New or rebuilt sockets are usually required. I have the tooling from another member here necessary to install original style sockets.
Just ask and I'll send them along.

**GTO ONLY** AS OF NOW THESE ARE THE ONLY REPRODUCTION ON THE MARKET AND **WILL** NEED MODIFICATIONS FOR MOUNTING!! ALL SOCKETS *MUST* BE DIELECTRIC GREASED PRYOR TO BULB INSTALLATION AND CONTACT SPRINGS MAY NEED STRETCHING. LENS ATTACHING INSERT NUTS INCLUDED. PLASTIC HOUSINGS COME WITH LEADS AND SOCKETS W/O BULB. LENS AND HOUSING GASKETS INCLUDED. LENS GASKET SUPPLIED IS TOO THIN, RECOMMEND L160L GASKETS. **USE AS LAST RESORT**
