    1968 Lights for the hood opening

    Check Ebay, Craigslist, and swap meets. Might even browse the wrecking yards. Row 52 is a good one to see what is in your area. Around Christmas time, there was a '67 & '68 in wrecking yards here. I wish I had the space to pull all the parts, but pretty sure I'd be divorced, lol.... Bret
