So as many of you may have noticed we offered these up previously but as complete package to rebuild the entire assembly with the brushes and hardware. We really just needed to offer them up alone.

So if you are tired of painting yours you can get new ones that will not peal.

A little info on the whites we would like to share.
When looking for samples we purchased 3 sets that were supposed to be original. The weird thing was they were all slightly different colors colors and one had texture to it. So we were initially thinking it was painted. This created a dilemma. DO we need 2 sets of molds for these?

As we started to look closer at the other untextured ones we noticed that if we used acetone we could remove the color and they were in fact both painted. As we removed layers we found that both had texture. So we were able sand off the outer patina to match the color and produce these to look exactly like factory ones did new.

The black is pretty straight forward and now if you want black for your yous and it "should" be white, you can swap them out no paint needed. biggrin.gif

Another thing you can do easily while you are there is to swap out the headlamp bulbs with housings and LED high low beam bulbs. We have been through countless vendors on these and have tested and run them in our cars. They are literally a safety issue if you drive at night you can really see the road. They re also adjustable so you can adjust the line for on coming traffic to no be blinded. There is an issue with high low circuits for grounding and we will be making a video of how to install, adjust and easily modify the circuit to run independently.

These will be the base of the surrounds only (with new stainless screws), and option to add LED headlamps and housings.

The latest version headlamps include new rubber seals on the back and when bough together WE assemble so you plug and play!

headlight surrounds only are
in black $50
in white $55

Add in LEDs with 2 new housings assembled and ready to plug in
and your package is
Black $135
White $140
(sorry got these reversed this is now corrected)

Retail on these packages are $254
The reason we charge the $5 more is they actually cost more to make.

So who's interested

I have several other GBs going and we will combine to save shipping costs. This is just one of those easy to do projects that really make a difference.



Retail is $164 for these alone

I’m in for white surrounds and would like to combine with my speedo kit fix.
Mikey914
Yes this was the idea. the only thing that is holding me up right now is the visor screws. The plated I sent them to was not open Friday. I'm hoping I can catch up with them today to be able to include them too.

I would like the white surrounds but I'm going to be purchasing your complete resto kit. Because your resto kit is not yet on the new website (and appears to have been removed from the old one), I can't tell if the surrounds comes with the revised kit or how the GB price compares to the resto kit. Please advise.

The resto kit actually will knock it down quite a bit, but the GB usually is the least expensive option.

I'd like a set in black. Also need the hold down ring that holds the bulb in.

I don't need the surrounds, but I'd be interested in a set of LED headlights if there is a sale on them.
Mikey914
PMs sent to all so far. The GB isn't actually for the LED headlights but the surrounds as while you are there it's an easy swap.

Anyone got a headlight globe retaining right for JOEROPER you an hook him up? We don't have new ......Yet.

Shout out!! Got my headlamps and LEDs yesterday. Installed them today. They look and work beautiful, cant wait to get the car out at night and make sure they are adjusted. Great deal and amazing service. Thanks 914 Rubber!
Mikey914
Make sure to Adjust the angles of the bulbs in the lenses before putting the surround on. No real big deal, just easier.

There were no instructions, which way should the LED's face? side to side or up and down?
Mikey914
These are installed into H4 lens housings. They can only fit one way as they are pre-assembled. So I'm not getting the question. The H4 lens housings have stops in the back that seat into the mounting base. The ring will not close if not properly orientated.

Nice whites,

Let us know your impression after you have a chance to use these after dark. I love them, but that’s me. These really make it safer to drive at night.
