    Can anyone tell me where to buy these chrome rings and what they are called?

    I’ve always called them trim rings. I believe they are stainless not chromed.
    E-bay is a good source. They’re not cheap though.

    So did I but the only ones I find are the ones that actually hold the headlight on the housing, which I have. Does that make sense? I'm confused.

    They’re beauty rings. I actually have 4 spares in my storeroom. Not sure I want to sell them but they are for sale on eBay. Search 75-78 trim rings. Some will pop up.

    Thanks Jetas. I've been asking the groups and may have found someone kind enough to pull me a set.

    Sounds like you found some but just wanted to poke fun and say - I’ve got a spare set too that I’m not planning on parting with either hehe

    Remember, you need a total of 4. Anything less won’t work. $200 would be the max I’d pay for 4. For that price they should look new with no scratches or dents. Ask for pictures before buying.

    I think I would sell my set for $200. They are all clean AF and polished.
