Leap Day - Hertz G

A few years ago I got a great deal on ebay for a pair of headlight bucket assemblies. They even came with mounting hardware. The headlight bezels/doors were only primed, so I had to paint them. Otherwise, I was quite happy with the purchase.

My car still had all of its original headlights, but the bulbs were all shot (frosted inside). So I purchased some original bulbs from WCCC.

I’ve seen a few different ways to install them, but I prefer this method of assembling the buckets, hooking them inside the housing and then pulling the with a piece of wire and hooking them on the buckets.

here’s the grill assemblies waiting for the doors to be assembled.

Here is the left grill assembly ready for installation.
